Readers,
Last week was a dud, but our levels were respected, the bears failed to send us under our zone at 426.53-425.53, and the bulls couldn’t surpass 431.23. The market makers were successful in keeping us within the weekly expected range. Things are shaping up for another bull leg? We have a massive week ahead with cpi, fomc, and opex, anything can happen.
The MMs are expecting a weekly move of $7.13 in SPY by June 16th. Giving us an upper range of 437.03 and a lower range of 422.77.
On the monthly profile we are building value here at 430. If price can stay above 428-430 I think there is a chance that we see April 22’ naked POC. Right now on this profile we are trying to stay accepted into that April 22’ value area at 428 (this area has been tested before but has failed to stay above. If the bulls can defend 428 I think 445 comes next. We need to break it down on a smaller timeframe to see if there are any other stops along the way.
On the weekly profile we can see that we close last week at an imbalance to the upside. Last weeks VAH is 429.03, POC is 427.02, and VAL sits at 426.38. A pullback into this area could be health for a move to 436.01-445.46. We still have a gap that has not been filled yet at 423.95-422.92.
