Yesterday's candlestick closed as a bear bar near its low with a long tail below. In our previous report, we said the bulls need to create consecutive bull bars closing near their highs to increase the odds of a minor pullback towards the 20-day EMA or April 10 high area. The market traded above the prior day's high (16 April) but the follow-through buying...

The market tested the 20-day EMA and the January 13 low in the last 2 trading days. In our last report, we said the buying pressure is stronger than the selling pressure (bear bars with no follow-through selling) and the odds slightly favor the market to still be in the sideways to up pullback phase. The bulls want the market to form a 2 legged sideways to...

To see the definition of a Buy Vacuum, see the comment section on the tagged related post on the 20 Mar...
