Market update (4 Sep 2024)

  • There was a spike of the supply level in conjunction with a bearish commitment below the bull flag support at 5580.
  • This is likely the overdue test of the previous down swing from 17 Jul-5 Aug.
  • A complex trading range as discussed in the video is still unfolding.
  • During a market pullback is the best time to look for relative strength in the stocks.
