Its the second day in a row ES sold off at the close of the European session. The bearish paint all night long and leading into the NY open was easy to read. Size players working the action to get traders hitting the bid (new lows, failed rally, over and over). The ICS market is telegraphing every move lately. IMO, a lot of cash out there.
If you trade on an inverse h and s pattern, you are a big loser.
Look at daily chart, on 4/6, 4/22, 5/9, 5/19, they were all inverse h and s patterns before they got punched through.So you lose 4 and win 1.
That is the sticky wicket though. You do not know if the day is going to trend or range on any given day at the open. You can see it only after the close. Especially in this calendar year's market where the trend has been general bear with 10% bounces between troughs.
The first 15 minutes RTH will typically show you if there's going to be a trend from the open or broader 2-sided trading in the MES.
Yup.Today morning it was not.
It was a seesaw with in two hours from 9:30 AM.
It was after 12:00 it showed the real direction.
