Indices short term support and resistance


Most the indices sold down for past 2 weeks, time to watch trend line resistance to see whether is the recovery sustainable.  If can closed above those trend line resistance for 2-3 days is a positive sign with potential for more upside.  I will go long on breaking lhf.  Nothing is 100%, always have SL in place.
