    Look back at tuesday's trading, there is a resistance level at 1135.00 which the market could not breach despite several attempts. Also the buying seemed to get a bit panicky just now, like the shorts were throwing in the towel after the big rally up, which usually indicates a top is near. The blowoff spike up plus the resistance level were enough of a reason to go for a quick scalp IMO.

  4. Cutten, good observation. Just before the top, especially NQ made a parabolic move.

  7. Perhaps we'll see ES 50% retrace to 1130 (between top and 50 day MA).

  10. What are the chances that we'll see ES down at 1100 today?
    I give it 10% chance. It'll be the move of the year!
