The Daily Observations 02 December

The market started strong and held on to its momentum towards closing.  It made higher highs along the way.  I was biting my lip everytime a new bar opens after a red one.  Bulls finally stuck around to finish the job.

Play by play

• Pre-market softens a bit right before open.  I was watching /MES as it gave up its gain prior to opening.
• Big green bar out of the gate but I didn't buy it just yet citing what we've seen yesterday.
• Towards the middle of the day, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief as I saw the EMA 9 and 20 indicators were able to carry all those candles as each 10 minute passed by.  

• We are observing another bullish harami forming in today's bar.  
• Will it hold on Friday? Well let me just put it this way,  "It better (read my lips) hold".
• In case you are wondering what those new lines are, those are standard deviations I setup using the regression channel drawing.
