Quote from Brendan R:

it's going down, too many people hoping for a bottom

ESJ thread is not a good sample space for concensus.

This morning is the 2nd day with extreme selling. Public is unloading.
 
Quote from Lawrence Chan:

Notice NQ and ES RTH range are about the same.

Something is being staged.

yes noticed that. the leader (AAPL) down and they buy others like AMZN, RIMM.. ???
 
I am getting more and more of these mails from people who are
calling for a bottom, which, on a contrarian basis, would suggest
the bottom is far away. However, these two have called it right more times than many so here goes:

Hi folks. My horizontal IT target has been hit Thursday morning. Here is a possible place for a temporary cessation of the downtrend.

Go Mercury Wood
His chart attached.


Next guy says:
As you can see on the attached the spx this morning met support at a sand
bar here and is below the down sloping red line.
Interpetation. ......... slowing down for a speed bump while in the fast lane.

Not that I am suggesting going long or short here .........but please follow
the logic.

Being long 3000 iwm is the same as being long 1500 UWM is the same as being
long 1000 TNA.......in theory.

The benefit of using the higher leverage is that you can set aside more
cash to earn interest, the same could be said if you were going to short
these stocks. ........well sort of. There are additional risks and
disadvantages that your broker will explain and I don't have room for here.

Another benefit is that you start building cash. Why is this important ?
While the SPX will have a bottom and a test or two of the bottom, when ever
that is......so will sectors and the best stocks in those sectors.

There will be multiple bottoms and opportunities.

That's why a temp bottom is needed - to suck in more longs.

A bounce is needed by the option MMs.

That will stage the next move whether we run back up more or drop straight down after friday.

Namely, the motto of the day is "anything goes!" :D

I woke up damn late this morning and missed the morning drop. Hope everyone made his or her small fortune already.
 
does anyone out there think current intraday chart (bars less than 5 minutes) is starting to look like a Wyckoff creek, and that a drop to print a new low on the day could be a spring?

a spring print in the 815.25-814.25 ?

come on, offer an opinion, what else are you doing right now?
 
As long as the bears don't sink their teeth below 810. If that were to happen, all bets are off. At any rate, a bounce is due somewhere in the 812-817 area.
