Great! Just set up another batch of Jan. ES call spreads. If ES gets to your number tomorrow, I will short with no fear, that's the beauty of call spreads.I turned the accounts net short for a pull back at least. We rallied on negative breadth today, although the financials are leading up. The new highs look better, however we are at new highs with divergent new highs at this point as the breadth is also lagging today. BTW, the new highs had a higher highs but still less than Oct high. Without aggressive Fed printing, this market would have had its head handed to it this week, let's see when they will manage to unlock the supply from here...

Hey Arb!
Don't allow a crappy little rally to ES 1146 area scare you out of the trade! We could get as high as 1146-1147 ES before we sell-off. Good luck and GO BEARS!

It historically takes about 18 months (give or take a month) for anything the FED does to monetary policy to hit the equities market. With this in mind, it should be duly noted that we are now 16 months from the Lehman Brothers pump, so this same stimulus is due to hit the equity "shores" at any time.Without aggressive Fed printing, this market would have had its head handed to it this week, let's see when they will manage to unlock the supply from here...
Good skill to you on what's looking more and more like a "last stand" point for many traders right now.

1445-1446 is the zone of the measured move out of the
recent consolidation - tad wider with a fat pencil.
Achieving a measured move does not itself predict the thereafter.

Perhaps Fib, but this is also assuming a normal economy that responds to the monetary stimulus in normal ways. I do not think this is such a market though and the printing has been pushing the commodities since last summer. Fed printing has been spinning its wheels for some time now, this week's action made it obvious, gold is up substantially, yet look at the equities and the leadership. I think the financials are getting some help there, true, but Nasquack started to quack here. What we basically got since July rally is more inflation than growth and now USD is not declining because the rest of the world is not in any better shape, so much for the global economy hype. Fed's attempt to push USD lower helped gold more than anything... I think we are due a correction from here... We'll see, I think there are a lot of parallels to 70s...
