[Laissez Faire]

I have 4009 as a possible failure point, but if that doesn't draw any attention we can go all the way to yesterday's close by end of today.

I had a limit order in place 1 tick below that failure point in case something happened while away from the screen, but I'll admit that I planned to trail it higher.

I think my software must be lagging as the order literally filled before the candles printed on my screen.

At that green arrow my orders were gone from my chart and I was filled. Did anyone else experience any lag on that spike?

I think we'll print 4030 from here if we go beyond 4009, but personally I'm done for today. I don't feel like chasing up here even if the probabilities of a move higher are good.

Shorts are in a tough spot now. Squeeze, squeeze.

Maybe I'll chase a breakout of 4012 or a pullback to 4005. Or maybe just call it a day.

Shorts getting carried out in body bags as we speak.

Outside potential, i.e., 4050.

Disclaimer: I'm just flat and watching. Had one of my major losses in the past from buying tops, so I'm not chasing this here, although this one may be different.

I got long near closing at 3915.00. I think we are in for a bit of a runup as the daily bear flag has failed. This is a swing trade. Today's action showed no conviction to the downside.--- I'll rethink it perhaps at 3805 area

Raising the area that I will reevaluate to 3850.

. . . but it's all probabilities...

By the way, zoom out and you'll see today tested the 50-day SMA and the Tenkan line.

So, we pretty much got the gap fill now. Another 10 point pop in 13 seconds.

Curious if we get the Outside Day, too. At this rate it seems very much possible.
