What Happened
There was no big news to affect the market today. We did have weekly unemployment claims, which increased to their highest level in a month, but the market opted to disregard the numbers. The trading range remained narrow, ranging between 4,190 and 4,230. It was well contained within the major areas of support and resistance. Today, neither the bulls nor the bears wanted to make a move.
What’s Next
- The record close of 4,254 is the immediate resistance level on the upside. The futures market may need to re-establish itself above 4,224.
- On the downside, 4,200, 4,176, and 4,164 should give excellent support for the continuation of the upward trend.

How to Use Renko Chart Technical Analysis and Forecast in Trading – Support, Resistance, and Trendline
The record close of 4,254 is the immediate resistance level on the upside, as seen in the daily chart above. The futures market may need to re-establish its footing above 4,224, since each time the price approaches this level, it declines. On the downside, 4,200, 4,176, and 4,164 should give excellent support for the continuation of the upward trend.
The 4,224 resistance level appears to be more apparent on the hourly chart below. A strong finish above 4,224 is required to keep the positive momentum going in order for the bulls to drive the price higher. However, as indicated by the yellow area on the chart, the upward path may be considered difficult. On the downside, as indicated by the light green region, there is sufficient support to keep the price from dropping any lower.

We can see a possible W, double bottom pattern developing in the 5-minute chart below, which is indicated in purple. The only thing missing is confirmation, because the closing price, 4,230, is exactly at the neck line. To guarantee that the formation is complete, the closing price must be above the neck line. Furthermore, the yellow zone above 4230 may be difficult for the bulls to conquer. As seen by the green region, there is a lot of support below 4,200.
