Maybe, but this can go on for weeks, typical of  bubbles

 

You wouldn't know it by the last couple of days, Friday in particular, but the past few months have been dominated by late-day selling pressure.

The Cumulative Last Hour indicator looks at the last hour of trading in the S&P 500 fund, SPY. If the fund rises during that hour, then the indicator adds 1 to the running total. If it drops, then it subtracts 1.

Recent months have seen a continual erosion in the indicator, to the point where it's at the lowest level in 6 years. When stocks have been persistent hitting new highs while the Last Hour indicator was plumbing new lows, it has been a warning sign.

What may be especially notable about the current behavior is just how persistent the selling has been during the last hour. Over the past 3 months, the indicator has dropped 5%, which doesn't sound like a lot, but it's the biggest drop in 25 years.

So far this is the big takeaway: the huge jobs gains come on the heels of furloughed/temporarily out-of-work individuals getting re-employed. It is not a sign of a hot labor market - yet - pulling in those more permanently unemployed.

Have a great weekend! This was a major breakout week for #ES_F - RSI though is now in nosebleed territory Plan next week: Next breakout targets are 4065 (strong resistance) then 4130. But, pullback likely in order 1st. Must hold 3995-75 or this was a bull trap. Detail below $SPX

Note: As we are in melt up mode extremely hard to predict where pullbacks will occur. 4030 is mild resistance with 4065 being strong and if it goes direct id expect a pullback there, which should be buyable. As usual, will read price and trade the levels as it unfolds next week

Is so boring I know chief, not up very much for the year and sitting with a massive risk factor lol!  Nonetheless the good news is I just got my short to 4002.  Just waiting patiently for my biden=volatility to kick in.  Also added to my 4100 April calls to bring my average sell up to $10.25, 4150 calls $4.00 and took profits on my sold 3500 April puts for a nice even $10.  Calls are super rich in price indicating bullishness through the roof.  Gonna be an interesting week for sure....

Nice!  You know your getting 12.8 billion of pomo when you see bond yields and the volatility index higher on the day lol!  A week ago that would tank the tech market.  Will be interesting to see if we hold the day lol!
