Stopped out at 1491.25 for +2.5. Got down to 1489.00 (3 ticks from my limit order), then spiked up and caught my trailing stop. Ah well, +2.5 is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
Downside breakout through support at 1491.75 now.
Went short from 1493.75 at 2130ET, but been going nowhere until now. Hopefully will see some downside now that the DAX is open.
First target 1488.25.
How about the fact that the market was extremely overbought and approaching overhead resistance?
Does news move the market, or does the market move the news?
Matters not to those who trade what they see.
One possible scenario here...

Of course another is a DT at 1492, and yet another is another push to 1510 before the big fall.
H&S works on all timeframes. However, the H&S is not confirmed until the the price penetrates the neckline after the right shoulder. Some consider that it is not confirmed until it then re-tests the neckline and fails.
Short from 1467.75.
I understand the phoney numbers on the DOM. I'm asking about actual trades on the time-and-sales window, which is another matter altogether.
