Quote from vhehn:
no but caught a nice bounce eod in qqq and iwm. i think part of todays bounce was traders positioning for the big number tomorrow. a weak jobs number should be good for the market because it could stop the fed from raising rates much more. the number should be weak because of the hurricanes. shorts could have figured its best to take profits now just in case the market pops on the number.
vhehn --- good point about the long "bet" for the Fed policy after a bad set of numbers moving towards a possible pause --- and so far that bet has bombed out twice in a row for the bulls. also after a huge three day short run it was time for a lot of traders to book some big profits. now we will have all the little guys buying pre-news announcement hoping for super bad employment numbers tomorrow --- HAHAHAHAHA!
that may work out for them short term, but that does not sound like the best trade entry criteria in a massive DOWNTREND.
