I think if Trump comes out and talks positively about this whole situation, the ALGOS will jump on board and we will be heading to all time highs He said he was going to release a press statement this morning, so hopefully soon and then thats out of the way
Agreed, I'd prefer he talk sooner than later, in fact I'd prefer if he talk before market open as I prefer to not be in positions when he's blabbering on about something.

If new all-time highs, the top of this expanding triangle could be a decent target - roughly 3275 (+30 points).

NQ same picture. I wonder whether it will require a third even steeper channel before a true buy climax.

Great 2 bar reversal on the 1 min chart at the open of the cash markets on NQ.

That will play as support at the moment....

Well I'm calling it a day. Frustrating morning trading wins and losses until I caught the drop (where you bought from me as I exited):

people trying to short the US equities where vix futures term curve being in a strong healthy contango should get their heads checked...

but then intraday traders can scalp a short here and there to pick some scraps up I guess....

Yeah ended up +111 on the day which I'm fine with after being -42 at one point earlier. Plus its lunch time in NY which is when I call it a day -

Very very nice trade you had today - I should have listened and reversed at that low!

haha Cracking day to say the least, although I'm now holding an ES long over the next hour whilst the market is closed.

I couldn't resist and entered long when the rocket news hit the wires and we returned to the high volume bar created during the Trump Speech:
