Bull gap, mid range, Opening Range, 1fBO, fL2, H2, BT, mDB, H4, 1tF BT

Some nice reactions at the S/R from the daily chart. Once we broke above the highest daily bull close (light pink area), that became support and we got a bull tend into the close.

Bull gap, above HOY, Opening Range, 1fBO, 2E, H2, H3, FF, WfBO, 1P

Every new high of the day was a Tick Failure Breakout (red circles) of the Opening Range. Use the Support and Resistance – Breakout Failure Tick indicator to show that.
Sellers all day at the TCL from the daily chart, but we closed above at the end of the day.

Continuation, Opening Range, mW, fBO, mDT, DT, bull MC, 1CHBO, H2, bear CH, DT, 1IB, BP

can compare the PA to 12/31, 01/03 and 01/06
on all of those days b1 was a fBO LOY, but today that fBO happened already during the overnight session, we sold off 50 pts below LOY and made it back into yesterday’s range
B above large b1 (with a stop below) worked for a couple of legs higher

Bear gap, mid range, Opening Range, 1fBO, bull MC, 1CHBO, WfBO, 1P, XT, HL MTR, 2E

Bar 2 and 3 look like a strong trend attempt, but think twice.
An Outside Bar is a Trading Range Bar, especially mid range of the prior day. Bar 1 was a Reversal Bar (although weak), that triggered long, so we would expect BB. Also yesterday is a Trend Bar and a Bull Signal Bar on the daily chart and we can expect Brs at the various Fibonacci levels. Bar 4 was at the 50% retrace of yesterday’s range, the bar 1 low was just above the 38% retrace.
