The Steel ETF (SLX) is running into stiff resistance just above 75 with a bearish engulfing two weeks ago and a potentially bearish harami today. After a gap and long white candlestick on Tuesday, the stock moved sharply lower today with a long black candlestick. Today's body (open-close) is within the body of the white candlestick, which makes this a harami. A move below 73 would fill the gap and confirm the harami.
