Well, we had the push down to the 95.50 level, but WTF happened around 3am EST to make the market pop four points?? Something going on across the pond maybe??

We've got four reports this morning at 8:30am EST, with Unemployment Claims sure to be an action-maker, then the ISM PMI number at 10am, to put the icing on the cake. Based on the Job Cuts report released this morning, I am expecting the Unemployment number to be higher than the 389k forecast.

Based on the little overnite rally we've had, I wouldn't be surprised if this is a "pump 'n dump" by the Big Boyz ahead of the reports. They have run it up to what appears to be pretty good R level, setting up perfectly for a big move down on any bad news.

Yup, classic action. Most pain overnight must have been on the short side. 6E at weekly lows yet ES holding up. If the 2 are still correlated which I believe they still are, we are in for some pain tomorrow. However, I will be very cautious adding any shorts today given the report tomorrow and not wanting to hold big position into it.
 
Magic hand holding market above 1390-95 area which would be line in the sand till it breaks. 1420 or 1380 area...which will come first? Close below 1370 and advantage to the bears.

I see 1390 support but not sure where you are coming from on the 1370. I see 1380 and 1355 is key levels.

Unemployment number: better than forecast. Labor Costs number: better than forecast. Market reaction: selloff. :eek:

Quite a head fake Da Boyz pulled there, with a little pop to shake out the shorts, then the selloff that they had been planning all morning. Gotta love it!!
