Well the large players knew earnings were going to be good for the majority of companies. Sometimes you need to understand the fundamentals not just look at charts.
Well that's part of my point though... if large players knew earnings were going to be good or bad prior to others, than that means they are likely position prior to that.
That's why I made the comment of how markets had good probability of higher based on charts, prior to earnings even coming out. This was posted prior to.
Now today ES was at major Daily resistance and earnings weren't good and we went down.
So, in this case I wasn't surprised and didn't miss much by not paying attention to earnings particularly on the long side.
