Comments
Nailed the pullback again.
First sign of oversold in 3-day advance issues.
It is not a strong condition for a bounce, yet.
Compression!
All 3 breadth indicators are squeezed to their neutral zone.
Major breakout in the making.
3-day advance issues overbought + div top potential
tick16 LT bearish bias
a selloff in the making
The selloff materialized in NQ with a 50 pt pullback but nothing on ES and Dow.
Not quite normal.
Tomorrow Fed announcement will be critical.
Lawrence hi, what’s your long term view on ES now after this fed announcement? thanks.
Long long term (6 months +) Limited up side
Short term (this week) op ex drop back down to 1430 and below
