PivotBoss Stock Scanning

PB ADR Scan: BRCD

The PB ADR Narrow Range scan brought this opportunity to my eye. BRCD has traded just 51% (.39) of its average 4-day range of .76, which implies significant expansion could be ahead. Price is sitting on support at 10.80. Bulls want to defend 10.80 for a return to 11.90 and 12.90. Failure to hold 10.80 opens up a move into 8.90 – 9.00.

E-Mini S&P 500 Recap and Outlook

The E-Mini S&P 500 endured a bit of a roller coaster day, as the release of the FOMC Meeting minutes led to some great volatility and big price swings. The ES initially sold off after the release, but buy programs kicked in 2 ticks above an unfilled gap at 1635.75, which sparked a rally of 18.50 points over the next 40 minutes.
