THE TREND IS UP AS PER SHORT-TERM MODEL, HOLDING BOTH LONG AND SHORT (TRAPPED) OVERNIGHT

The bottom line, everything goes as planned so I’ll maintain my forecast, just in the short-term I’m now more willing to bet on the long side until bear shows up.

A little bearish biased toward tomorrow because it seems most recent Thursdays were in red.

The short setup of the Cobra Impulse System wasn’t confirmed today but the system seems very determined, as it will try to sell short again tomorrow, see table below for more details.
