That is certainly depressing and the euphoria is obviously hard to ignore. If we are looking at another 10-15% pop, I am going to have to move some stuff around because being short now is painful ;)


That being said, it seems like the next 2 days are quite critical and I am watching the bond market for clues. Crucial gaps might be closed today on the 10 year, plus other major indices. If we are going to have a normal retrace I would expect it to happen now, if we are going to descend into the 1930s...then yeah....

I would look for cash to peak around 931-933 good odds for a 2%+- drop.

We need a substantial drop to snap people out of this stupor they are in right now, dont know if 2% will do it.

The last time we saw such a strong rejection in the first 15 minutes was on 4/20. Maybe, if we are really really lucky, we'll get our sellers coming in today.

Naz leadership has definitely waned, but in this type of rally and the amount of euphoria among people - I doubt it matters. I am looking at high volume drops recoiling off the gap resistance and so far this is happening. This rally however has had an interesting pattern:

Buy morning low, sell 3 oclock.

If the bounce does not materialize within an hour, we might be in for another potential exhaustion day.
