1392 is a reversal area.... a huge gap up means it leaves room for an enormous move down. I would rather see some consolidation before moving much higher.
The system wasn't designed so that most people could beat it.

1392, I don't know, starting to feel like there is no top here...

Price can run with divergence for awhile...

Nights like this make me feel like giving up trading. If I were a futures trader I'd be shorting into this, the divergences of Friday have to be adjusted for, so any gap up gets filled, minimum.

Instead of giving up trading, why not just give up counter trend trading? :huh:

Don't give up, learn from mistakes and adjust your system accordingly...

Internals were not there on the late rally, Friday. Run is getting old so counters should be less risky.

They pull these stunts over weekends in the futures markets, I doubt it holds in the day session.

This feels like a mark up for SPX and DJX, NQ fails to take the highs at the moment. TF barely sits above, but at least it broke out a bit. However, any consolidation will try the highs and probably will also go higher regardless of the divergences over the next 1-2 weeks. I still expect lower into March.

You may be right, but....my point has nothing to do with whether we go up or down from here in the next 48 hours. It has to do with a general trading concept...in response to your original post. Best, D
