Quote from RiceRocket:
I've been noticing in the price action this week leaders have been sold during earnings releases, then bought up the next day. Then watching the short squeeze today, you can see a strategy. Big players are getting shorts to load up in the morning after earnings because the companies sold off, then buyers come in and squeeze the shorts out. I will watch tomorrow if we see a gap down, then consolidation, then the consumer report comes out sells off a bit more, then buyers come in and squeeze the shorts hard.

The overall markets blew off the microsoft numbers, which is why the futures are flat. It is microsft's own self-contained problem, which is why the nasdaq and spy future is unchanged.

This feels like the 2nd or 3rd time the market has attempted to break out and hasnt, tonight after seeing MSFT and KLAC earnings it looks like technology is going to weigh in on the markets again. Everyone is anticipating a close above 1400 on the SPX until then this market is trading sideways...

Quote from Landis82:
If you actually traded for a living, you would know that the SPX is at a 3.5 month high with multiple sectors within the index showing amazing strength!
But to you, it's just a "sideways" market.
Since when is a 135 point move up in the SPX since March 17th a sideways market???
The more "comments" that you make on ET . . . the more your built in bias looks absurd.
Sorry to hear that you were unable to pull the "trigger" on a 135 handle move in the S&P.
What a shame.
