This does have the whiff of desperate Q4 funds going "all in" to salvage their year...
I have seen this market do crazy stuff, and it looks like it could go either way, Im just throwing that out there as a possibility, giving it a 10% chance!!!
All I know is that if it does occur I will simply short everything, nothing has changed in the last 6 months to show the economy is improving....all wall street has is the fed and if the fed is so positive in their growth prospects they better start raising rates ASAP!!!!
Yeah, it does crazy things...the herding of this market is something to behold...my guess is that the sentiment swings must be epic...the angle's of these rallies and sell-offs just create massive short term sentiment swings...i960 allluded to this last week, and it's kind of telling, because when we were trading below 1900 on spx, the concept of 1980 seemed like a mile away...and all it takes is one of those buy em ugly days higher and before you know it we've rallied 100 es points...
Even with the bearish action is so many sectors, the indicies still chop and drop on the way down, but suddenly the charts "look pretty" when it's a buy...
fooking soybeans!!! my target was 95...but them profits were burning a hole in my pocket, exited too soon
True, when you see the s$p at 1900 you're thinking damn 1980 is far but within 3 days or less is all it took to climb to that point, so you think wow, 2100 is far but all it would take is a massive week rally and like magic the s$p is back above 2100 reaching for new historical highs. Once we get into that magical high zone where the s$p keeps breaking highs week after week that could last months and even years like it has the last couple of years since the s$p has broken out.
