  The Qs have found support at the prior resistance level (which had added significance due to it being the location of the 50 DMA) and the market is back above the 5DMA. This action is encouraging for the bulls and now holding above the 5DMA will be important for continued optimism.

  A fractal is generally “a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be subdivided in parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,”[1] a property called self-similarity. The term was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning “broken” or “fractured”…..From Wikipedia

  Buyers have not shown up today and the market is struggling to hold above the lows from last week. Failure to hold 46.40 should put a test of prior resistance into play.
