"Pulling in Both Directions - Something Has Got to Give!"

20 D, 60m. - Apr. 22 -  This chart best demonstrates the Battle Ground for today (Apr. 23rd.)

The intermediate trend has been up as seen in the Channel above.  A minor trend of the last nine sessions has been sideways to down.  A Pennant shaped wedge has formed aimed at 85 on the SPY.  Breaking out above of below this wedge may be a telling sign of where we go from here.  The MACD is on the zero line.  The 8/21 MA is in the Devil's Den (undecided).  There is no clear bias that can be easily seen.  The market will in the end tell us what it wants to do.  We must be patient as we watch for market direction to materialize.  The Zone of Contention is between 84 & 86.  It could go either way.
