Until not too long ago, ES would move in lockstep with the crude, only in reverse. When the crude goes up, ES would come down. So it shouldn't come as a surprise when these two odd couples dance to the same tune, scratching each other's back, or is it? These are the very reasons why a trader shouldn't get too emotionally attached to the market.

On that note, I have today's bottom set at 1260.50 for ES (???) Any disagreements?

**Edit**
Well, just to be safe, let's say it's between 1260 and 1262. :)
 
When ES stopped reacting to oil going down that was a sign that ES had bigger problems that weakening oil could not help. It was a great signal to get short....

Quote from smilingsynic:

Still say 1320 by Labor Day, but now that the upside gap at 1305.25 was filled pre-market, there is that pesky 1250 or so gap from a few weeks back that is just asking for it.

Limit buy orders in place from 51 to 54. If they get hit at all, probably will be tomorrow over, preferably, overnight.

No time for intraday trading until after Labor Day, so these are SWING trades, if they get hit.
