Where is This Market Going?

BY LICIA LESLIE

Hi Shoppers,

 

After the massive rally we had on Monday, Tuesday brought us an inside day.

 

What does that mean?

 

Well, according to the Japanese Candlestick system, yesterday’s inside day could possibly be a harami candle.

 

Harami means pregnant in Japanese.

 

The candle combined with the previous day’s large real body looks like a pregnant woman.

 

Here it is in SPDR S&P 500 ETF (Ticker: SPY):

The harami candle tells us not so fast with that rally.

 

We may not be going higher.

 

It negates the direction of the previous day’s large body candle, in this case higher.

 

My support and resistance levels are the highs and lows of the most recent consolidation of SPY, $467.50 and $477.40.

 

Today will be interesting.

 

Thanks for Reading … See You Next Tuesday,

Licia Leslie
