NY looks ready for a manic close of the week (Equities)...ride the pig till all time highs and time x break here ...What's on your menu Hatch?

sisse
With that 'maniac' spike, I'm flat without a retrace. It appears to be a sure thing that I will be left out for the rest of today. Too shallow, so I let them do whatever they want and wait for my prices.

I am having one eye on 3341 for some time now, but Gator disagrees somehow. His 3197 looks way better anyway.

Got the same and both eyes at that level. In my books 1.334x is the only one to track for the next 2 weeks, Q break in play ...

For today US session, yeap, 1.293x quick in out was confirmed and enough to put hard landing on the move (well the last 150 ticks has been with unsustainable moves TA wise) wide range and increased volatility as expected. Just tracking 1.298x for the W roll.

On the rest, plain and simple ES and all time highs, nothing more or nothing less.

You are talking about the last 150 pips to the downside, or the recent move up?

Ah, I see... I'd blame it on the magnetism of the YPP
It's not touched, so I'll keep that in mind, until it is at one point.

At the end of the day, they'll park us again exactly at a level that allows a move to both sides on Sunday/Monday, as they did the last 3 months on every single Friday.

YPP, last break out in Quarterly, M / W support ,etc etc, whatever you see it or call it, same area and the bastards are tracking it ... guarantee.

Let see how it goes.... News can be enough to finish the move in equities...

So does PTL, doesn't he? What's he doing?

I will look again, once London went home. The last small mofu didn't get crossed in a suitable fashion, so I don't rule a retracement towards < 3036 out, pure bastards' play... suck them in and let them drown...

He is a ghost now ...lol ...you can always catch him very early in the morning for Frankfurt....

In any case, awful number in the US ...WTF? ...lol... bastards in control, test of last micro break point in the key ES right now after the news....hold for the opening range means, all time highs and tradable afternoon. Failure and day will be over and we'll need to wait next week.... Option players (quadruple witching) will be out in a few so week//day still wide open ...

Indeed, stuck in the same chop zone but this time bears already unloaded profits.

ES loosing steam intraday and looks very tired. Those awful numbers didn't help the cause today. However, a last minute rally for the close to all time highs only with the bastard on board (1570x weekly extension reference only) to end the week on all media/ world news headlines for the weekend is very possible as we are trading a very thin market and all options players are gone.

Outside of ES and air, nothing to see across the board. Euro closing above 1.310x will be interesting for next week not only for a rally but it can end the chop zone. While below 1.306x will leave a test below last lows open for a technical test and guarantee wide chop that can last as late as the Q close...

close above 3092 today would be bullish for me to head higher next week. 1.312x would be nice later if we get a rally (hoping for this outcome)

This might affect the yoorow next week.

If I was Spanish/Italian/Greek or portuguese I'd be straight down the bank on Monday to take ALL my money out, if I hadn't already.

This is nuts - Cyprus have delayed the vote re 10% bank charge - so either the banks won't open tomorrow or there will be the biggest bank runs you've ever seen. This could get very very interesting.
