Quote from BlueTurtle:
I don't think it's about calling tops and bottoms....
It's just, we don't really have an easier word for saying "Hey, it might be risky buying here. So, longs, be careful."
There is absolutely no reason to sell now....and that might make it worthy of wondering, "are all longs in yet?" nobody ever knows.
The problem, is.......the ES could go up 11 more points.....stop you out...and then fall and you don't get back in....or go up 17 more points.....stay there for 3 weeks...then fall.....etc, etc......or gap lower by 80 points.
I think the Fed is still active....the dollar is finding some stability but not out of the woods......
but "calling a top" here makes perfect sense to me......just let me know at what level your analysis is wrong, and maybe a timeframe. but if not, no worries, I still understand what you are saying.
