I would rather see some consolidation before moving much higher. -------------------- The system wasn't designed so that most people could beat it.

Price can run with divergence for awhile... -------------------- 1) Wisdom

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. |

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.
