I think everything is pretty strong, but then there is just too much speculation at this point, I think we are just hitting the daily highs...

You don't give SPX a chance to make double top

I'm thinking higher high tomorrow.. (double top, possibly throw over) and then down into FED meeting where they announce they can print like crazy due to the newly discovered measures of weakness (read weakness of EURO race to the bottom to devalue). Then we rip higher. But I'm just guessing (and not trading).

SPX looks like it's making a double top right now...

if they can actually push SPY over 115 it could jump to 120 very fast. Well then, i would be screwed basically...

Down from this top (right here, right now) until 11 am tomorrow... That's my map. If this map is correct we decline from here and close slightly down today, gap down tomorrow and bottom.... Bought some DIA 105 puts....

Saw some LS (or whoever) trying to push SPY to 115. They made it to 114.95, and then.... you saw it too.
So close, yet so far.

i agree with you cycletimer.... And yes i am calling a top (ST).

VST Mr Architect... as in hours of sell-off only... More fireworks and volatility (DOWN-UP-DOWN) at mid-month... sell-off AFTER opex. The instrument to trade in Mid-March are call options on the $VIX!!!

I don't know about VIX options, but VIX is divergent from the new highs in the indices, a sell off is almost confirmed here... Let's see whether they will push higher into the close for a gap down...
