Hold

Hold signal confirmed.  Either today is a headfake with more downside to follow, or we're looking at a big bounce in the near future.  I favor the latter, but I'm biased by my large and underwater long position.

  1. I'm leaning towards the latter right now, although I don't make my own calls until way late at night, like 1 or 2 AM.

  2. I hope your followers didn't get shaken out today as volume seems to indicate capitulation and bottom, especially with the nice hammer. No way to tell whether it's just an oversold bounce or a meaty rally.

  3. Exactly. Strictly speaking, we need to see the next day for confirmation of a hammer. Intuitively though, today looks more like a sledge hammer than a tack hammer. We'll see more in the overnight.

  4. future data seem skew these couple of weeks, we could be up/down over 100 points and by morning it would mean nothing

  5. And we will continue down until support in the 70"s on the eminis

  6. The 70's? Do you mean 1170 or just plain "70"? And I'm sure glad I decided to wait for confirmation of yesterday's big hammer. Talk about getting hammered!

  8. Ah, OK. Well, there is one more support level where we are right now, at 1109. It seems to be holding - for now. But with the VIX headed back to the stratosphere, anything's possible. Crazy times.
