Long here 1334
That first stat I mentioned was a little ridiculous:
200 (+55) ... 255 -10% to 230 ...
- talking about timing a 27% overshoot of the double (200) to get a mere 10% retracement. But the point is to start looking for a decent retrace once the double is hit, and for up to about 50 pts beyond. That's been the pattern going back 30 years.
You might have caught this one right here, with the high a mere 10 pts overshoot (1332 + 10). A 5% retrace would take us to about 1275.
