Classic examples from Friday's session. ES.


A]  Curved white line on the left shows slowing momentum with contracting volume and volatility.

B]  Curved white line on right shows accelerating momentum with increasing volume and volatility.


Long entry on A] is best when buying has been shown to return to the market. A change of character or break of structure with volume to support it.

Long entry on B] is best during a plumetting, high volume and high range red bar when it coincides with a level.


A] Often held until momentum slows.

B] Mean reversion trade.  Hold for n-bars or 50% retrace of the drop.

C] (not shown) A complex bottom.  Identify stopping volume and watch to see if the low of the bar that printed the stopping volume holds.

D] (not shown) It's far more common for tops and bottoms to be messy.  But exhaustion and interest can still be identified in such cases.
