MARKET IN REVIEW - LITE
Tuesday (25 April 2006)
_____________________



Good morning,
Got that right yesterday; didn't we!

"Things remain pretty much the same as yesterday.
Still some chance of a TTT (Third Time Through)
at the contract high (blue line), but the Price
Action has described yet another indecisive, wispy,
Doji daily candle. This time rather small-range.

If the Bulls don't blast through on Tuesday expect
"gravity" to take over for the next stage of the
encounter."

Price is Mid-trend channel at strong historical S/R.
Please, anything but a stall/breather day! LOL!

********************

1 = Tuesday morning session opens at the Close, and bounces up for a
clean, interday
Double top (10-Minute, bottom left chart) off the High. Right at 10:00
Reversal time
too. Of course we don't enter:

* High is not a Primary PL

* Nothing to justify entry into "green fog"

* Pivot (always considered proven) interrupts
the Price Window. Too small to risk entry.

2 = Considered calling the crossing of the Pivot a 123 "S", but by the
time it completed
it seemed time for a breather/retest of the Pivot already. AND I
generally don't trust
DVS Signals. If you entered here, it was a legitimate decision.

If you entered:

Stop above the Pivot.

A = Second red candle closes below the LowW. Per our rules, move
profit-locking stop
above the LowW

B = Large red candle through the S1 and Historical S/R (red line. See
Daily, bottom
right chart as well.)

C = Uh oh! 10:30 Reversal Time DVS (middle chart) generates a red Bull
Dragonfly through
the Low. Momentum has suddenly reversed. On the tape, the following
three candles,
Dojis, give strength to this reading. S1 retest coming. Exit Now!

3 = Giant white candle rips through the red line and S1. Red Bear
Dragonfly "P" Signal
completes what turns out to be a Pivot retest, rather than a simple S1
retest. S1
remains effectively unproven.

D = Entry candle is also second red candle below the LowW. Place stop
above the LowW
for a low-risk entry.

Gap and stall at the S1. Not a good sign until...

4 = Price Action tapes a large and a small 123 at the S1. Very
inviting place to add
contracts, but as lunchtime approaches, not too inviting as an "S"
Second Chance entry.

E = Giant red candle/failed test of MA definitively crosses both the S1
and red line.
Move profit-locking stop above the S1 (medium aggressive choice,
anticipating lunchtime
drift to retest S1 - it didn't)

F = Breakaway (?) gap and another large red candle closes beneath the
Low.
Move profit-locking stop above the Low.

G = Heads up! DVS (middle chart) and wispy red Bull Dragonfly suggest
that the brakes
have been applied. Looking to exit.

H = Large red Bull Dragonfly through the S2. Forward Momentum
exhausted as braked Price
Action slides to a halt at the primary objective.

Not sure whether to exit?

* Mid-lunchtime and Volume drops.
Implies, at best, a long sideways drift.

* Consistent, albeit gentle, Bull Volume
(middle chart, = J). Now implies, upward
lunchtime drift.

With over 3 points on the table undefended, EXIT!!! +/-4.25 points

K = Massive series of red DVS (middle chart) and red Bull Dragonflies.
Support at the S2
is supreme. Anyone still in this position???

L = Wow! That's some Support at the S2! Failed TTT, just in time for
the EOD hiccup.

Not much, but at least we got off the sidelines for a while and got a
bite of the action!
=] ;-)>

PERSPECTIVE
(Daily, bottom right chart)

The TTT at Contract High appears to have failed. Price
Action is stalled with a large red Bull Dragonfly daily
candle at the 1310ish red line of Historical S/R.

Notice that this level is almost exactly the 50%
level/middle of the Long-term trend channel (green
channel lines).

Whereas, the bottom channel line now intersects the 62%
trend retracement level (Fib), after a day or so of
(expected) struggle at the red line, the 50%-LT trend
floor will probably present more serious dual Support
in a couple of days.

REMEMBER: Trade the Tape, Not my Prognostics!
