Ok, I got the last call wrong, but thats trading. I got stopped for a modest loss. I believe we are about to start heading down again. Just imagine what the GDP figures will look like?!!! Once again, all the bottom pickers around. i doubt the lows are in. We will see.

The bull and the bear of it...

Bull:
Looks like a W bottom ...over night ES tested the 8 ema and bounced hard, this is a 120 min all session ES

ES 60 min all session...the bullish count where another high would complete a subdivided wave 3..

Bear:

We can count A,B,1,2,3,4 with a 5 needed to complete C...then down

I captured these charts earlier...they don't update...we have new highs ....now it's a question of are we topping a 3 of 5...or a C wave...TWT Globex high is 952.25...my work would look better with another high to complete any 5th...have resistance at 953 on the 120 min DAY session and 957 on the ALL session daily fwiw

Most are missing this bottom. GDP is meaningless now. Nobody cares. Very few believe this IS the Bottom. It may not be THE BOTTOM, but I think its going to be a huge one. No time to get in. BULL PANIC. Most will miss the boat. That is worse than anything. Traders are very vulnerable in this type of market. Because the market doesnt revert to the mean. Traders sell for a pittance when they could have made a whole hog. Shame.
If it can be cornered, it will.

Just imagine what the GDP figures will look like?!!!

Keep in mind that tomorrows figures are that of the 3rd quarter (a rear view mirror), and will not include the stock market's collapse that took place in the 4th quarter. So don't be too surprised if the preliminary figure is positive.

More important will be the productivity figures next week (the inflationary factor of the current stimulus) and, of course, the jobs data in which the market keys off on the following day.

All lagging and discounted. The market is living in the here and now. The market itself will create our destiny. Home prices are most important, sales etc...
If it can be cornered, it will.

major lenders are pushing up the rates (10%) and downpayments (30-35%) for nonconforming loans. the high-end is in big trouble.
