Anticipating 2 top sell set up here off Globex swing hi @ 76-80.... This next short entry is a position play with a 15 handle stop... 2-3 day hold anticipated.
There were 2 decent long setups this morning ... plus an 8 am Globex short off 80 with an IVB confirm...
nq is not fun today, merely broke even for $40 before commission. anyway, 45 points on es, done for the day.
nice spot to enter on the nickels.... 2 /65.... 4/70... 6/75.... 8/ 79.75.... Shotgun formation! As an old friend, great equities trader, on my trading desk used to say... Rip it.... spread it.... print it.... forget it!!!! Here we go.... third push North!.....
This is a repeat of yesterday, IMO. Trapping longs and shorts left and right in this messy zone, but the direction is still long. We'd need to see a sharp drop below 50 to unlock any real selling, IMO. But even that could be a trap. Holding long here.
I am shorting here, but only having moderate success. Trading light and it really isn't breaking down. Some very fast up rallies. Nice rally here too just now. I have distribution zone at 15100-15120 So if we start trading above that. Going to likely stop shorting / take a loss on any remaining or new position I have if we trade above.
I was rooting for a sustained sell-off long term, so nothing personal to those who may feel hurt, but I fear the last brave bears will be carried out in body bags today. I hope I'm wrong, but fear I'm not.
