Moment of truth

Here is a 30 minute bar chart of day session e-mini trading. The market has rallied more than would be normal after a supply shock like yesterday's last hour break. Even so, I want to give the bearish case a little leeway. I am leaning on the midpoint of yesterday's range at 1085.50 (purple dotted line) and on the upper channel line of the bearish trend channel I have drawn. Any strength above the red resistance oval I have drawn will mean that the market is headed for 1120, not 1050.

Carl, we are at 1087.50 and have already retraced 0.618 of the yesterday sell-off. Another bear trap? Heading to 1120! It makes my head spin.

Well, this is one sure way of changing the DNA of even the perma-bears and transform them into crazy bulls.

With all the BS already floating around, I wonder if any additional bulls will make any difference. Nevertheless, no one will ever dare short the market again.

What a racket!

In all my years of trading, I don't think I've seen markets do 360's like we are witnessing with this market... we need to be quick with the trigger!

Good Luck

don't know about others, but i feel like a rag doll with all of these gyrations. interesting that volume going down was big yesterday, yet volume up today hasn't yet been too significant.
