Good Job --- We are fighting equities who have declining earnings and a global slow down to weigh them down .... Oil is falling too as the Saudi's pump more... S&P back down near the days low again.... Hard to get some Risk On sentiment with other markets selling and probably rightfully so for them...

Tough day for sure but then it is Wednesday.
Oh...are the Saudi's lying again and claiming
they can pump more oil,most of their fields are collapsing,
they'll have to gas them again first and even then it won't work.IMHO.

Mmmm...Stocks seem to have a constant offer on them,
Yen going mad and Dollar selling off,
looks like some Japanese holdings are booking profits.
Could be a buying opportunity for stocks.

Second Profit Target reached 3064.... will let the last ride and let the market take it out. I have a proprietary stop loss that cranks up with price built out of Digital Filters looking at Price Action Bar ATR.... when it hits the last tranche will come off wherever that may be... I hope we stay alive through roll over because despite the heavy tone in US equities... Dax has made it nearly back to its highs, and I think Japan will have a very positive session on more QE pumping for them.... anyway... what comes will come... there will be another entry opportunity somewhere tomorrow.

an hourly close above the 100 HMA would be nice currently sits at 3058

3070 -- Definately an inflection point. Trend lines can be subjective.... but as a ball park, Here's the Post Fed Rising trend line with the 50 HMA hidden by the decending trend line in Red from the highs, and a close just now above the 100 HMA in dodger blue(light blue).

If she stalls it will be here.... a break out from the trend lines has the Kumo just above with its bottom at 3090ish and falling.... The Asian's love Ichimoku and that 3090 Kumo bottom will mean more to them than my subjective trend lines. Suggests limited up side.... Then again.... breakouts carry ballistic momentum behind them....

Twisting Kumo (cloud) suggests short term trend change (to Down). Ichi is great for a quick glance at the chart for levels, but it is too lagging to be usefull by its trade rules, so I wouldn't read to much into the cloud twist.

I've have 1/2 percent risk layered in between 2960 and 2950. SL tucked under 2935 support....

I've have 1/2 percent risk layered in between 2960 and 2950. SL tucked under 2935 support....

Position sized small given risk, but we have 10 DMA.... a likely target coming of the Boli's we have tagged recently at 2963, The 100 bar SMA on the 4 Hour at 2967, Tenkan-Sen on the Daily at 2962 (w/ Sunday bars) and 2950 is S2. Hourly Trend channel support there as well, someone just pointed out to me.

Next support down is 2935, which is close enough to tuck a SL well under if you layer into 2950 with small size.

Big risk event today will be the Spanish Ten Year bond auction.... bad results could see a fast money blow out. If that happens and not filled by then, will get out of the way.

TL around 2800 may be in the offering eventually to thoroughly blow off the froth from the parabolic chart.... would like to catch a bounce on the way down, if picked carefully.

This also could be a wave C of a three wave correction off highs and end 2950 - 2935....

I have a feeling that the very very bad French PMI will weigh on equities all day through NY today.... fits in with China's dismal stats last night and the whole global slow down thing.....

bounces may be dead cat bounces if fighting that headwind....

Sure is tempting though right here at 2965 with that channel bottom and all that tech support confluence....

OH well... I took my shot.... on to the next entry....

Tagging the bottom of the channel on the pull back. WE have traded as low as 2930 near the 2935 tech support.

2883 is the key for a route downside..... I have a small short on.... contemplated shorting 2980, but it happened so quick I didn't get it on.... took a small short on this pull back 2955...

Looking forward to playing 2900/10 against 2883

I have some buy orders layered in to 2900 and was hoping for a fill in an exhaustion move on the data...

2883 is a key floor, and close enough to 2900 to tuck a stop under, and 2896 would make the decline from the highs an ABC with two equal legs.

Philly Fed number surprised t the upside and S&P500.... which was making a beautiful exhaustion move to carry us into my orders right on schedule, flipped and bounced.... carrying EURUSD with it back to 2940...

for now.... my orders rest.... but best chance to get a fill was the data release... for now.
