I mentioned last nite, that was testing. What you can see here is a big break at 1400 in the ES futures as we get under the 1400 @20K contracts on much stronger volume... I don't track them so they may have already hit it. The outlook for a test during an intraday session of last nite's session is "test low on stronger volume"

I haven't seen the chart today, but I did look at it yesterday, there's work to be done 1385-93 area is going to be tested. (5 day chart) See what you think Mark.

It looks like 1390 area is the target in the LAST HOUR (!), I think it will sell, slipping below 1390 will be very difficult ahead of the expirations though just like moving beyond 1420s...

OK, the chart I just looked at shows the low on that 20K contract dump at 1402 area... We haven't tested it yet. Possible trigger.

That's how they start off a top, modestly, then gap down on volume...

I hedged some OEX put spreads I bought on Fri with ES futures at 1407.5 a bit, it could gap up to ES 1411-1412 or so, perhaps it will try it overnight and fail. The market should've already started a decline and it didn't, tomorrow should finally resolve to the downside, if there will be any downside this week...

See what you think Mark.


Well, first, it has to break through 140400-140500. Clearly 1405 is important. The low volume pullback looks more bullish than bearish. The 1400 blip looks like a non-event volume-wise to my eye.

I'd say that it's better than even odds that we trade higher before we trade down to 138500, but we know that's a target if an when it does turn.

If it happens on rising volume, maybe we camp out, if it does it on lower volume, it's probably a buy, given the sentiment.
