This were my thoughts for the short. Let me write them. Starting with the daily I was looking for these levels: Then, market sold off to the next support level, the first target of that selloff. About here I was looking for this, that's why I though the 2920 level could work. A setup I tend to watch for. As it made a new low I thought the % of it working were higher. That's what I was looking for.
Probably not going to happen, as 24.50 traded and NQ and ES both are selling a bit here, but if I were of a mind to try a short on a day like this (and I am not at all so inclined), I'd place a limit sell at 24.50, expecting 24.75 to trade, and I'd take profits at 1 point intervals on the way down and be flat by 2020 or so. Likely too late and this is the pullback ... three pushes to new highs, 24.75 front run at B1's stop ... if the market plays to script of late it will go into some tight narrow range between 19 and 24.50 for several hours and then break out sometime after lunch, rally to and close at new rally highs. I will be looking to add back at some point, but no hurry, I think.
NQ 79.25 & -1 ... so maybe another -1 to set the bottom of the range 77.75 ... if it doesn't want the symmetry then 75ish +/- ... Interesting to watch the ES ladder here at 24.75-25
If you were ever to try a short ES today, that 24.75 would have been it. Even then, I doubt it goes more than 4 or 5 points lower, if that ... someone is trying to lure it to 26
