Bought the June 2955 S&P emini puts at 75.75 and 76.25. Thought this week had a decent shot to be down. Will post on exit, right or wrong.

Been building a short position myself, market is priced to perfection. (JMHO)

My preferred scenario which would also fit with Hurst possible projections is 2840 to 2860 this week and then a rally next week. Other than a dip at the opening and a rally back to slightly positive, market not moving at all.

Don't know how this will work out, but my momentum work went ST long at the close yesterday at 2910, with a loss of 2-points on the previous short from 2908, basis the SP00s.

My commentary throughout yesterday's trading session:
The SP00s open the globex session with the momentum indicator line on the 60-min chart was rejected again by the DTL and the top of the gray zone resistance level...
.
This is the second rejection - if it turns back up from here, it's likely because it's going upward through the DTL...
==
.
There's potential for another diamond formation in this range, and with most earnings reports coming in better than expected, I'd say a shallow-sideways correction is what we'll see here, then a breakout upward... but as always, the momentum indicator signal line rules the day...
.
Both those factors should provide some support at the open, though today, the winner will ultimately be the one who's on the right side when the momentum indicator line breaks out - whether upward or downward... watching.
.
Both the 60-min and 240-min SP00s charts are showing both price and momentum signal compression, suggesting a fairly strong breakout is nearing...
.
My gut tells me higher, but as always, momentum rules, and whatever it leads to is where the price must follow...
.
For now, my SAR swing system remains short from 2908...
.
The next higher price resistance is up at the former ATHs, which is the ~2940s... let's see if earnings can take us there now, and then to the next target of ~3040...
.
My SAR swing system reversed to long from 2910... watching.

So far I've officially BluStared this trade, which is not a good thing. Bought a few more. Average price now 70. Thought we would get to new highs , but also thought it would happen next week. Obviously wrong. When I put the trade on yesterday I thought it would last 3 to 5 days, so I never planed on being in too long.

Me too, I Blu-starred! This is my worst loss on a single trade for me in several years. I can’t believe I’m still up on the year by a small margin after closing out this trade.
