Comments
The pullback objective was completed yesterday.
If today ES failed to hold 1340 by close, another down leg is on its way.
2 rumors (or should we say b.s. promises?!) from euro zone forced all out stop run.
That means the bearish scenario (i.e. another leg lower) is now gone.
3-day advance issues now overbought, pullback from 80s is likely.
The pullback from 1380 down to 1350 has produced a very odd oversold condition in Tick16. And we have now seen the effect of this oversold condition – a squeeze pushing ES to 1400 area.
