I think thats pretty impressive. if any1 wants to learn more, just let me know.
connect the 1937,1966 and 1987 highs,you will see major trendline that held in '02,i think we need to retest it before climbing higher,if we break it,draw a tl for the lows in that 50 year period and you will see a steep drop below, we'll have to wait and see if she holds on the retest
No body who trade for a living wants to carry shorts on indices and financials going home this weekend. That alone lifted the market at last hour when it did not drift lower to test the opening low. i.e. short cover rally 15/130/4 hr are neutralized from their oversold condition while daily/hourly/30 not quiet yet. So we are at best at a confused point - not bullish nor bearish. Very fitting for the current situation
I am rather surprised not to see a larger pop this evening on the Sunday 6pm ES market. We're in a range between 1216.50 and a fake at 1221.25. I would think that the agreement being hammered out this weekend would have been quite bullish.
weak open, think market is still in hold pattern not quite able to trust the bailout plan yet after the back and forth last week. ES only up a few points. Not much action going on, i am going to play warhammer instead
i don't blame you. i'm playing poker career mode on my psp. I'm about to give my 15 month old son a bath now. I'm sure I won't miss an ES Z8 parabolic down move while i'm gone.
