Quote from Jahajee:

If it can hold above 860 then this could be start of a multi-day rally to end of year. I am not bullish but the market has been resilient and closing higher today would be bullish.

But if it closes below 858/56 then ES can drop to 800 in a few days.

It looks more like we'll close in the no-man's land, right at 859. Now what?

I still think they will take this lower for the rest of the year.
But, in thin markets anything can happen.

I don't see the Santa Claus rally or January effect in this market environment.

Unless otherwise stated, my prediction is usually for the next 30 minutes.

I follow fundamentals , news and mostly trade both long/short when markets are at extreme levels (low/high).

What I am learning these days ( due to high volatility ) is , if you keep a rule of only 2 trade /week per instrument , you always get low risk trading oppertunity. The problem is sitting in cash and waiting for opportunities . For that I am trying to practice those 2 trades/week per instruments.

See my crude oil spread trade at this url to get my ideas.
I use stops some times not too often.
