I have a consipiracy theory that big traders keep side bets (options)in private a/c (in anonymous tax haven a/c) & use Employer (read Top5 big wall street brokers) money to move the index where they want to put some extra goodies in thier christmas stockings!!!!![]()

Yes, I am aware of both. But what are the odds of the market continuing an uptrend without a pullback, not 10 point one, but nice 20 range? There is that triple bearish divergence already in place, almost complete. CCI is on the down move recently kissed +200 and sliding downwards, RSI passed 70 downwards.
For intraday I don't care as well which way it is taken, though I do have that f...ing positional short at the moment, so I need to see it from the TA perspective at least.

attaching a chart which shows the past 2 days of consolidation of the break out.
Unless one has a bigger stop loss than 6-8 ticks ,you can see it was choppping everyone on the way up & down.
Yours truly tried to pick top on Friday 3 pm by buying SEP DJX & SPX puts.Since friday closed at the days's high ,those were under water some what.Fortunately Mondays opening down saved the bacon.
Bottom fishing Long calls on the above two also worked out profitably for a small scalp.Have to watch Tuesday can break previous high,if not back to support.Will watch only indiactor (not price) & play it close.
