Investor: it looked that way when you posted. I guess it needs to build more cause in the trading range defined by the bar of Jan 10th with range 49.27 to 50.20. That bar had a lot of volume (effort) for such a short squatty bar. Compared to Jan 9th, Jan 10th had a lot of effort without much of a result.....selling came in and held the price. So, yeah I agree with your take on the action.
Then 8 days of sideways within that Jan 10 bar. I'm waiting for a sign of weakness (SOW); a down bar with volume. I don't think the Jan 18th bar qualified. If and when a SOW shows itself then I'll wait let it come back and sell the retest. The hardest part of discipline is the waiting.
