The friday gap and crap went as per the plan. Then came the late day snap. The VST correction has a little bit more to go on the downside. The next dynamic support comes in around SPX 1493, which should be the area of interest for the trend traders for the next buy. Will evaluate if and when we get there. But no top of importance has been seen yet.

Their was NO gap on Friday. The premarket gap was entirely reversed BEFORE the open. ....Unless you call 1 single S&P point a gap of importance..worthy of a gap and crap forecast ? We have these tiny gap n downs almost everyday so what is your point ?

Thursday's ES close was 1508. Post empolyment high tick was 1517. Someone who was holding ES shorts would probably be humming tunes with 9 points against them, cuz that ain't any gap. And those who were long certainly woudn't have relished that 9 points either. And those trading SPY or QQQQ did not see a gap either ! ! :)

Only if you use an after hours chart was there no gap to speak of, using regular hours chart there was obviously a big gap and a gap on the cash spx too. Nav do you expect that fridays highs will NOT be exceeded before es reaches your 1493 target?

QQQQ, SPY and IWM all gapped up at the open last Friday though somehow they managed to supress indices from doing so:

Russ,

Yes. That's my expectation at this point.
