We may still go to 79.50 on inertia alone - or break slightly below 78.00 on a run of "it can't go there"-stops - but I think we are going to end up near the highs, regardless of what the ES does.
I don't think there are many position traders that want to stay short overnight with a hammer-and-anvil storm combo
Edit: That lunch-time retracement to 78.50 is looking so good in hindsight
Edit 2: Good luck cstfx - have to admire your patience
I've had my finger on the red "ASK" button for the last few minutes, but I opened a sim trade in the euro to gauge its movement and it's (and ES) still in the green...
DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT go long at 78.96!!! I played yesterday's breakout through the LOD via a stop order AT the LOD and was rewarded with 8 ticks slippage!
