Trading Plan for Monday, May 6th, 2024
Market Sentiment: Uncertain, with bulls seeking further confirmation after exceeding a major resistance level on Friday. Consolidation and complex, level-to-level price action are likely.
Key Supports
Immediate Supports: 5145-50 (major), 5136, 5116-13 (major)
Major Supports: 5082-77 (major), 5067 (major), 5060 (major)
Key Resistances
Near-term Resistance: 5176-86 (major), 5213 (major)
Major Resistances: 5245 (major), 5272 (major), 5302-05 (major)
Trading Strategy
Consolidation Anticipated: Expect a period of price discovery and complex, potentially choppy price action following Friday's strong breakout. Prioritize level-to-level trading.
Long Opportunities: Due to the heightened risk, avoid chasing direct bids at support. Look for failed breakdowns of 5136 (ideally with a reclaim) or 5116 for potential long entries. In the event of a deeper dip, consider knife-catches at major supports (5082, 5067).
Short Opportunities: Look for back-tests of 5213, or potentially 5176-86 (riskier) for short entries. Proceed with caution and be quick to take profits.
Level-to-Level Focus: The breakout from the downtrend channel increases volatility and requires a disciplined approach. Trade the provided support and resistance levels rigorously.
Bull Case
Holding Support: Defending the 5113-16 breakout zone remains crucial, with 5060 as the broader support floor.
Reclaiming Resistances: Bulls need to push above the 5150 and potentially establish a base around that level for further confirmation. Breakouts above 5176-86, and ultimately 5213 would provide further bullish signals.
Bear Case
Breakdown Signals: A convincing break below 5113-16 would signal a failure of Friday's breakout, inviting a deeper retracement. Watch for bounces/failed breakdowns around 5136 and 5116 for potential short entries. A breach of 5060 would be a significant bearish development.
