Ranges And Targets: Dow Utilities Silver Lining For Bears

Record highs everywhere. A Volatility Index crushed down to 11. Endless – – and quite correct – – optimism. Let’s take a look at this one chart, though:

  • The yellow zone represents the range we were bound within for weeks: 2700 to 2740;
  • The green zone represents the target price now that we escaped the aforementioned range, which is from 2740 to 2780;
  • The magenta horizontal represents the next significant gap, which is at about 2800
  • The red line is the supporting trendline defined by lower highs.

Simply stated, life has sucked for the bears since April 2nd – – over two solid months now – – and the bulls have already been granted a free pass for at least ten more points on the ES. Today, for me, there was just one very silver lining.
