I'm beginning to see a pattern here. ES trades within a 20 pt range for about 10 days, then breaks out and does the same the thing over and over again. The grind up is systematic and relentless.

Looks like greece is doing everything they can to get their hands on the next tranche of funds but their lenders don't trust them anymore.
I think the Greek party leaders will do whatever it takes to get the next tranche of bailout funds, whether the lenders will trust them enough to disburse the funds is another matter though...

Theres hefty resistance between SPX 1340s to 1370, lots of selling in this area but the market isn't going down, I think it will still grind up to 1370 by rollover.
Yea could definitely test those 07 highs again. Such an outcome will probably surprise most people (and cause them to lose $$$!!), nobody will expect the market to hit those levels when the economy is in the tank.
I don't agree with him, the dollar isn't strong again cos of the data, the risk currencies like the AUD are rallying hard vs the dollar, its only the EUR thats weak vs the dollar (and most other currencies actually).
