Seeing the buying on the dip again yesterday, this morning's bounce was no surprise,... but it may have its long awaited affect,,,as the RUT technicals are at a M or B point. Yes, we are gonna finally get a good bounce here to break into new all time highs,... yet to be seen for weeks,... ...or,...I said or,..... we break support and accelerate to the down side. With nothing changed in my signals I'm holding and not going to be scared out until they say cover and reverse. best to all. ;) * * * ******** Oh....looky there,....we just double the losses for the day as we just hit the lows in a swift dip. Nice to see as we near the M or B point.... confirmation its at work. *****| * * moooooha-ha-ha-ha!

Nice! I covered my rut shorts taken at the close on Friday last night. No guts no glory. Most shorts now feel they have to cover quickly or get run over by the next ramp job. Kind of looks like the market ran out of shorts to cover here today.

a win is a win is a win no matter how small.....something was done right! ;)

I think you're right. We were seeing more RUT players on both sides,,.. those willing to short it instead of the Qs

Qid or NDX...and dip buyers in the RUT yesterday ....both players are acting today.

This mornings bounce produced by the dip buyers pushed most shorts into covering ...then on the spike higher

the longs started selling. They were trying to get out before profits from yesterday's entry evaporated.

Just how markets move sometimes,...rewarding when it can be detected.

I covered a little early today. But the trading range for ER2 looks between 816 and 828.

You WON !

Even tho I still do it.... we can't beat ourselves up over not making the most of the trade.

A win is a win.

Well done. Be careful with so much attention now on the RUT as easy... it may get harder.

Well done for you too Mr Dev, congrats. I personally expect a retracement at least, especially if there is more downside left, I am thinking many went short or hedged the close here. The last hour's P/C ratio was 1.19. I think many people dumped the calls and flipped to puts...
