That's a strong bounce. I will open a long ESM position to hold into Sunday evening or Monday

I purchased the $SPX April 2600 calls @ 40.00 about 20 min. before the market close today as a speculation we bounce on Monday. I’m either going to be very right for or very wrong. I hate holding premium over a weekend but felt compelled to buy calls versus selling out spreads.

Bounce was weak to me, 2620 would have been significant but couldn't make it. Doesn't rule out a reversal Monday

but no buy at all, yet.

Looking for a bounce then DOWN, again

 

What's important will be the strength and conviction of the sell-the-ralliers and the buy-the-dippers

 

all the above goes out of the window or into the garbage can if there is a major US or geopolitical event

 

I expect Trump & his cast of jokers to walk back the tariff issue over the weekend.

I'm just not seeing the case for a "strong" bounce on Monday... not to say it cannot happen, but I don't see the ST CIT just yet... twt.

Negative internals with positive closing TICK, signals a bounce. I'd say if it fails, it will be a crash type move.

Markets moves have no strong correlation with geopolitics, tariffs, rates, russian hookers, porn star interview, trump, debt cliff, medicare, taxes, banks, P/E, earnings, umemployment, GDP blah blah blah. 

 

The only things that matter to the market are liquidity and the level of greed/fear. Those are the only two things i watch other than the technicals. Rest is all garbage IMO, as far as the causality of market moves is concerned.

I will feel more at ease if we can close 2680, until then it's just a bounce.

 

I'm over leveraged, if this is the bottom then it's the last chance to make a lot

of money, at the top it will be back to nickels and dimes.
