Trading is similar to chess. You need to think ahead and anticipate. Map out multiple scenarios. Don't place too much importance on one single bar.
If it's a big up day; should that up day be interpreted as strength/trend reversal or is that up day part of the ongoing down cycle?
Day trading is the same. People see a big bar up or down and all they can see is up/down. They don't see the entire day ahead.
I will watch the extended section to see if price reach the 2620 level (support area) of if there is a retracement for any new shorting opportunities. Let´s wait and see...
You can increase your view of the market (and your opportunities) by adjusting your MACD settings and when ready adding stochastics.
This is a good thread to get you started. It does devolve a bit, nevertheless it's an introduction to some concepts.
