2000 Tick view of today. Please note to compensate for the lack of volume I am back to showing the bars when they happen. So closer means more action as in the first 30 minutes of the day.

Note we are approaching R2 for the second time and once again it is giving resistance. Also note how close we got to VWAP and the Mid on the pullback. VWAP dot dash, daily mid dash dash, both for Regular Trading Hours.

The 20 period EMA is now surrounded by mean absolute deviation bands instead of a Keltner, Seems to track a small amount better.

In the boxes:
The efficiency ratio is thinking about going to sell. Balanced momentum is on mild sell (Navy line at 0), Williams %R is neutral but rolling over. The zero lag oscillator has not flipped to sell but it got real close with three black bars. Finally the ADX shown as a histogram is declining while the +_ Directional Indicators (green and red) indicate directionless market barely above my arbitrary chop threshold of 15.

Comment on stops. I think most price action traders would have seen the long tailed doji at R2 as a clear message to exit the trade for now. However two bars later price dropped through the EMA 20 and triggered the trailing stop. That stop is FatTails super trend (available for free) using the 6 bar median for the baseline average with a 12 period ATR (Wilders formula) with a 2.0 offset. That stop has been under the up move since 9:30 last night Eastern time.

rebounding from 15 min ema20. I know it's difficult to hold here but if you spotted the uptrend day earlier like I did, you should have made enough.

major battle at R2. Biggest volume spike since opening 30 minutes and price isn't able to stay above that R2 level.
