I wanted to highlight another ‘intraday confluence’ Fibonacci post to show the confluence resistance that came together at the morning $110.00 high in the SPY as a good educational example of “quick” Fibonacci trade concepts. Let’s see it:
The quick explanation is that we draw two simple Fibonacci Retracement Grids starting with the two prior swing highs at $110.95 and $111.52 and then connect those to the morning low of $109.02.
The following grids come together, and mark a key “Confluence” resistance level at the $109.99/$110.00, which also happens to be “Round Number” resistance.
That was a target to play for if playing counter-trend long, and then a target to “get short” particularly if a reversal candle such as a doji or shooting star formed into this confluence area… and that’s exactly what happened.
Price formed a long upper shadow at 10:00am CST and then price broke beneath the low of that candle, triggering a short sale entry with stop above the confluence at $110.00. Price retraced all the way to the morning closing (but not spike) low near $109.20 over the next few hours.
Here’s another look using StockCharts instead of TradeStation:
We see a lengthy positive momentum divergence forming on the lower timeframes at the key support level of $109.00 (the bottom of the lengthy range we’re in).
As such, watch for upward movement and a break above the confluence resistance areas as noted above, as it would appear price is trying to form a “Rounded Reversal” off this level.
Any move under $109.00 would be likely treated as a “breakout” move and could trigger more range expansion lower, but until then, as long as the $109.00 support level holds, the positive divergence tips the favor to the upside.
A break above these Fibonacci confluences at $110.00 and $110.25 would confirm that bullish bias.
I’ll discuss this in more detail as well as additional key levels to watch going forward in tonight’s Idealized Trades Membership report.
