I don't watch the volume as I just trade patterns, is volume picking up? I don't normally pay attention to ES in AH due to lack of participation, but today patterns in ES seem to be excellent which suggests to me that there are more participants in AH.
OK, I think it's just regular trading activity, ImO a fight between major participants is normally observed on very high volume and when price remains in a tight range, of course this is just my observation from the past. I am also long Feb crude off 15 min slant divergence trigger by 1 &2 min charts missed out on gold long entry
This is exactlly what i see, one is trying to push the market down and the other is holding it so far - in a narrow 30 points range. I think the volume so far is normal ( but it's not my territory ) No CHECK SPELLING so i'm sorry for my wrong spelling !!!
Long 7515 daily S2 Half take profit 7535 stop to entry. JSSPMK the last movement in the price is the fight i'm talking about.
