what's interesting to me is here we are - quad witching expiry week. and last friday es closed @ 1254ish and at this writing (at 3pm edt) here we are @ es 1254 ish....
if you look at what happens after a significant financial clamity.. the price takes a few years to base out and consolidates downward... 1929....
Ok heres how I see it. The ES chart on the 30 and 60 min chart shows a traditional blow off top. This is the exact same candle that displayed during the 2000 market when the Fed lowered short term rates without warning in the middle of the trading day. This is also the same candle that displayed after a Fed announcement to lower/raise rates/do nothing/"Surprise" everyone after a meeting. The only reason that I'm not going to short this is because the technicalls really don't matter as the Gov't is manipulating this market to the point that you can no longer call it. Furthermore, This is expiration day so I'm sure the Fed is hoping that all the bears will get the message and cover their shorts and drive the market even higher. With all the shorts out the way the market can continue to rise well into after the election giving the false pretence that the worst is all behind us. If everyone thinks it is over then they will be confortible buying and afraid to short less Unlce Sam punishes you with a massive short covering squeeze. This market could very well stay overbought for as long as they want it too. Not only have they messed up the market but the charts as well.
37.50 & 35.00 might be in play. Remember they want to attract more bears before the final amazing push higher.
