I just hope I didn't exit early out of one of the biggest weeks of the year. I had a high beta stock, RBLX on Monday, original PT was 92 but I got cold feet and got out Tuesday morning... still a 6% gain and I had put a lot of money on it, so not bad... wish I had just stuck with my PT instead of wussing out at 86... it was just the volume on the RBLX 'bottom', along with a lot of other stocks, was pretty mediocre for that kind of massive bottom shadow. Should have been all-in on all breadth kind of volume, not just the major indices themselves.

In the end I got stopped out of my profit stop at 4699 for a 1 point profit at the close and then back in with a short of 4706 but didn't want to hold going into the inflation report so put in a buy overnight at 4700 and the pajama traders helped me out with a 6 point profit. Were still sitting here and I'm tempted to short but think I'll wait until after the report to figure out the direction we might go here!

I am also waiting on it.... this report can be VERY BULLISH or VERY BEARISH but I expect the result will be a rally after the initial heat & noise.
Looking for a ST TOP today or tomorrow

Unless it DAILY CLOSE is above ES 4760, there should be a ST top
DAILY CLOSE above ES 4760 leads to new ATHs
Major win for #ES_F bulls yesterday, recapturing the 50dma. Target was 4708 and price hit and now basing below/charging up. Bulls not quite out of the woods yet though Plan today: Targets are 4725, 4745-55. If bears to step back in, needs to be 4745-55. Above there, ATHs coming

One main reason I'm ok with it is because with a one day rally call option premiums are screaming bullish! I'm shocked actually I was actually thinking we were going to be neutral here but that's a silly thought lol!!!
