This trade recommendation is setting up quickly and requires prompt attention.
The bias remains to the upside for the short term with the price trading above the Daily Pivot Range (blue dots), therefore this level is key support.
With this bias to the upside our ‘A’ up value line is our first entry point for the day.
The 14 Day Pivot Moving Average (red) is turning up, and crossing the 30 Day Pivot Moving Average (yellow) and this is bullish.
The action to take is to enter and go long if the price trades at or above 109.27 for at least 15 minutes. Use a shorter term chart like 5 minutes to confirm this. Once, this rule has been met use discretion to get as close to 109.27 as possible. Sometimes the price may rally quickly from this level so be careful not to buy on a spike, so if the price has moved to far, look for a retracement for a better entry.
Place the stop loss at the Opening Range low of 109.088 and the profit targets as stated below.

Stop Loss: 109.088
