The futures punched past a clear Hidden Pivot midpoint resistance at 1288.25 on Friday with sufficient force to put the 1336.30 ‘secondary pivot’ (see inset) in play as a minimum target for the near term. The rally has also made the red line potentially available for a ‘mechanical’ buy, provided the June contract stays above it for a couple more bars before pulling back. The implied stop-loss for this strategy would be enormous, amounting to about $4,800 per contract even if the more conservative 1336.30 is used as a target rather than D=1384.40. Under the circumstances, we’ll look to significantly reduce the entry risk by using ‘camouflage’ if and when a ‘mechanical’ entry is signaled.

Under the circumstances, it would be premature to look for a ‘camouflage’ entry opportunity on lesser charts , even if one could in theory materialize at any time.
