the price action had been hovering around the SMA for quite some time. I like the trade.I suggest not taking countertrend trades when the price action is significantly below the SMA. Especially if the SMA is showing a clear trend, which isn’t the case today.

I traded 2 contracts all day, which is ten dollars for every point on the Dow, and the market stayed fairly active. Notice where the Pivot is today, and how the market swings up to and around the pivot. The pivot was a very important line in today’s trading.
Stocks run into resistance (supply) because those traders that bought too late and saw the price go down now want to get out at break even so they sell. Stocks find support (demand) because those traders that missed the move up now have a second chance to get in so they buy.
