SHORT-TERM: DIRECTION NOT CLEAR, MARKET MAY BE RANGE BOUNDED

The market stuck in a range so the direction is not clear. Better we wait for the breakout before taking further actions. Trading is like fishing, more often than not, patience is the key. Not much to say, but promise is promise so I squeezed 3 points here:

  1. Chances are little bit better the market may continue on the downside.
  2. The market may stay in the current range for a few more days.
  3. The next possible pivot time window is from 12/03 to 12/06, not sure it means top or bottom.

Why chances a little bit better the market may continue down?

  1. Because could be a Symmetrical Triangle in the forming, which theoretically means a continuation so chances are little bit better the market may continue on the downside.
  2. Seasonality is generally bearish the next week (see seasonality session below).

Why the market may stay in the current range for a few more days?

1.0.6 SPY Unfilled Gaps, SPY has 4 unfilled gaps above and 21 unfilled gaps below, from my observation, bears seemed hardly to hold the 5th down gap, while bulls seemed unable to hold the 21st gap. So either gap up or down the next Monday, the gap would get filled very quickly and perhaps more gaps along the way would be filled before the market is able to sustain on one direction.

Why the next possible pivot time window is from 12/03 to 12/06?

  1. Non Farm Payroll is on 12/03. As you all know now that Non Farm Payroll day was very likely a pivot date, especially if it’s a red day.
  2. Multiple Gann Day due on 12/02 to 12/05.
  3. Magic Day 6.
  4. According to the 3rd party document, 12/02 could be the most possible pivot date in December.
