Full Time Profits, April 23rd, 2018 – GLD, GS

April 23, 2018 By Steven Place

The market structure is playing out in the “rangebound garbage” scenario.

The market finally cleared 2650, filled the gap just above 2700, and then faded hard to the top of the range.

It’s to be expected in this kind of market. It’s not a trend, just high-reversion as we auction higher and lower to establish the bounds of this multimonth range.

There’s been a handful of setups triggered recently, and so far they’re all working well.

This week is slammed with earnings reports, and unless a new “macro” event takes back the narrative, watch for these large-cap tech stocks dictate direction in the near term. Especially GOOGL and AMZN.
