Today was a narrow range day as expected.
We thought the natural box was from 55 to 52 support, and 48 the coonservative support.
The 67 gap fill was our potential upside target, with 68 chosen as day’s resistance.
The disappointing range was a bit frustrating after yesterday’s gyrations, but to be expected as Bigger players sort things out.
Half gap and gap trade for the 58.75 target were best short ideas today, and buys with 58 support worked great early in the day.
Keeping it simple.

Zeek Snodgrass [12:39 PM] Happy Lunch
[12:39] Yankees basically fired Girarrdi today
eminiwizard [12:40 PM] 10 years at helm
Zeek Snodgrass [12:40 PM] yes
[12:40] Makes no sense[12:40] one game from WS[12:40] players played for him[12:41] I hate to say this, but Cashmen should have been the one to go[12:41] comes down to people vs bots (analystics)[12:41] humans lost again
eminiwizard [12:42 PM] gm has the say in these things
Zeek Snodgrass [12:42 PM] true
[12:42] I will just become a Red Sox fan[12:43] I have a notion they will hire Girarrrdi[12:43] He will get a lot more out of their pitching
eminiwizard [12:43 PM] interesting idea
Zeek Snodgrass [12:43 PM] Get David Price right again
[12:44] He is a former catcher and has done an excellent job with his bullpen and starters[12:44] FWIW Chapman will be lights out in 2018[12:45] 2017 was theh hangover from being misused in Chicago[12:45] low being tested

Pre market thinking and plan
Zeek was wondering where longs would stall on the bounce. 56/58 got violated to the upside, so above that Bulls in control
