My FF is rally with possibility of ES 4600 but then an even bigger decline and new 2022 lows. 

 

Most are expecting 1) Melt up to ATHs or 2) Bear market, but markets confuse & theres 3rd option that traps both: $SPX whipsaws in big range (like after Jan 2018 11% crash for months, Oct-Dec 2018, or Aug '15-July'16) Regardless, lvl to lvl, 1 move at a time best way to play it

Have a great weekend! Despite bullish Fri, #ES_F went nowhere all week failing 5x to clear 200dma Plan: Bears get 1 more shot at direct new lows between here & 4457 max. Need <4390 which flushes to a new low for a Feb rally. 4457 clears, we squeeze ~100 points to 4540 strong res
 
"Despite the close today, its important to zoom out. ES was bouncing in the same range all week: Generally between 4280, 4320-30, and 4400-4420 with price just ping ponging between these levels. Despite the bullish close, ES did not only not clear its 200dma at 4427, but it also didn’t manage to close a single day above its prior days high all week. In other words: While sentiment online felt like ES was breaking to ATHs, nothing happened all week. Early next week will be fairly key, but I have a feeling bears aren’t quite done yet, even if price squeezes up another level next week"

The real neg fed funds rate (-7%) is more than the -5% in 1970s. A year ago Powell lost his credibility on price stability. Now question is how aggressive he gets in trying to recapture it but at the high risk of damaging the economy/deflating asset prices

Fascinating that not a strategist i read has said that Jay can pull this off. I think betting against Jay has been a fool's errand. Sure, i don't want to fight the fed or the tape but i don't want to fight the Chief!

That pivot down there at 1938 on rusty this AM likely a big one....bulls still back in control above.

 

 But if they fail to negotiate that turn, could still be big problems...

 

AAPL ran right into 15 & 30 min combo resistance at the close on Friday, so watching today's action for possible larger clues....
