Just got done with my closing data. I know equity futures are rallying right now, but a VST SELL signal had been triggered today, which happened to be the expiration day of my prior IT BUY signal.

Ideally, a gap up tomorrow should provide great entry for short positions.

As far as forex is concerned, something wicked this way comes ahead of the ECB rate decision on Thursday. The expectation is a 0.25% increase, which should further strengthen the Euro.

However, the behavior of the Dollar over the past few days indicates latter part of this rally is most likely NOT a currency driven event. Black circle shows the Dollar has been contained in a narrow range between the 38.2% resistance at 9600 and the 50% support at 9550. As strong as this rally has been, it could also turn out to be just a bounce from an extremely oversold condition.

Remember this chart below that I had posted here on Sunday, June 12? Almost "everyone" was expecting the market to either crash or plunge below March low while this chart indicates otherwise --- a positive divergence. That red curve dipping way below the "oversold" line was the extreme not seen since June-August of 2010.

Were that the case, then the market might've overshot in search of its equilibrium, the magnet.

Got an intraday BP Alert on the NQ100 triggered at around 11:00am. This is the 1st one since 6/14. However, intraday BP Alert could be reversed quickly, so this is just a heads up. I'll update the status as much as I can if there's any change.

Most major indexes are currently at intraday high, and so is my BP Alert level. It's rising right along side. This is telling me today's high is likely a ST top. Good trading!

Nice. Coincided with the ES futures gap fill. Dow still outperforming along with Mid caps.

Just some thoughts to wrap up the day. My intraday BP Alert stays in effect at the end of the AH session and is now the first daily BP Alert since 6/14. As I had mentioned before, rally on high TRIN is as bad as selloff on low TRIN. Today's Nasdaq TRIN is 1.15. There's also the Dollar, the Yen, and T-bills rallying with equities, which is unusual. I thought the behavior of some of these currency crosses have been quite unusual over the past 2-3 sessions. Anyway, time to take a swim. Later.
