Will Santa Deliver?
A 50% retracement of that range is about /ES 1061 and we are trading near that level now.
Taking a trade here is not a good idea. We may test the high at 1069 again or test the low at 1053.47.
What does this mean to me? Emphatically do nothing and continue to sit on hands.
I will be strongly bearish if we take out /ES 1050
I will be strongly bullish if we take out /ES 1071
If something did make me take a position, I would size it appropriately and consider the range extremes of the day.

Is this your phrase to describe it or one commonly used by other TAs?
I will wait for the first 1/2 hour to see if this market will show its hand. Right now, pre market is not happy with the jobs number, but I can't help but think the FED's unchanged policy will trump any past tense gov't labor reports. But this must be weighted against a confluence of technical factors that Brinkley's charts above nicely illustrate.
Watch the the price movements of the riskiest assets today like a hawk and of course the USD$.
Watch any activity price/volume in out of the money options not supported by a news events on the indexes.
Trading within the range of /ES 1025 - 1100 is a big gamble here imo, and scalps will continue to be the game I play.
It's never easy.
But...if 1052 is broke...your 1045 might play.
Sorry this thing is still working you over, hopefully you'll be back to snuff come Monday.
Is this at all valid? I'm a total newbie so take it with a grain of salt.

Note:
20SMA is at 1070.68
50SMA is at 1054.86
Camarilla short is 1071.95
Camarilla break out long is 1077.27
R1 is 1073.09
Pivot is 1060.19
longer term rosa? I think so since it would be like a mutual fund
anyway.
The biggest concern if you're in it long term would be the degree to which there is a Buffett Premium built into the share price that disappears when he does.
I mean if transports and tech leads...usually will be followed by which sector to rally...I also notice financials are lagging...
(with 25.45% volatility)
1088.00 = 8.26%
1073.50 = 47.49%
1068.50 = 72.00%
1059.00 = 74.87%
1054.00 = 49.74%
1044.50 = 17.22%
1030.00 = 1.52%
1049.00 = 29.87% (prior pp)
$ADVN-$DECN is weakening with $TICK now below zero, so internals are not supportive at this point.
miners are weakening as well from their great morning.
Overall a tough read, but right now given we touched Brinkleys /ES 1070 the market has activated the sellers, the question : is there any momentum behind the sell?
Maybe.

Another bullish chart is the Dow, which has bounced cleanly off the lower trendlines and is now rising back towards the upper trendlines:
http://www.screencast.com/users/springheel_jack...
On SPX we have broken back into the expanding wedge today, and the next serious resistance is at 1075 for the retest of the main rally trendline:
http://www.screencast.com/users/springheel_jack...
The picture on the Nasdaq is still bearish or mixed. All trendlines are broken and we are now retesting the broken expanding wedge lower trendline:
http://www.screencast.com/users/springheel_jack...
On the Vix an equity buy signal was triggered yesterday after the break outside the bollinger bands and then subsequent closes back within the bands. That has been a reliable signal of an upswing in equities during the rally. In the six months before that though, it seems to have been a reliable sell signal so the question then becomes whether the trend has now changed, which it may well have done. Ignoring the signal then, the picture on the vix still looks mixed as we have broken the main upper trendline since January and are now retesting it, though we may have closed just back inside it:
http://www.screencast.com/users/springheel_jack...
My take is still that we are likely to make a right shoulder on a head and shoulders pattern on SPX if we do not make a new high. My friend alphahorn has done a very good chart of how this would likely develop and with his permission I am reposting it here. Alphahorn has an excellent charts and EW blog at http://alphahorn.blogspot.com/ which is a very regular research stop for me:
http://www.screencast.com/users/springheel_jack...
There is another point to consider here with this pattern which is that it is not only the level of the shoulder that is important, but also the time taken to make it. If we do make the right shoulder on this pattern I would estimate that it would take another ten days or more. Fujisan suggested three weeks on the blog yesterday. She could well be right.
USD tested but did not break the expanding wedge trendline and bounced off. That move down does not look complete, which is why I think we may see more equities upside today:
http://www.screencast.com/users/springheel_jack...
In the event that we reach SPX 1075 - 1080 today I think we are very likely to bounce off it as it represents major resistance. Not least it is the level of the broken main rally trendline, and a very likely short retracement level after the ascent of the last few days. If we reach it, I will be short from SPX 1075 with a stop at 1085.
If we are making that H&S pattern though, we will most likely return to retest that level after a retracement.and may well repeatedly touch that trendline, which is rising at about two points per day, as the right shoulder is made.
If we do close back above the main SPX rally trendline, I would expect a double top or a new high to be made as Kemal_1 is forecasting. In many ways I would much prefer that as we could call the likely point of the next top to within a few SPX points with a very high degree of probability. I'll be posting more on that at the weekend.
Thanks to all of those that shared their thoughts today. Don't forget to point up the ones you like...
EDIT.....Left @ 5.96....scalp
EVERY customer cost him 16.75 per month...Current RPU is 34.28....prices will be lower on basic service...
This is all very sad to me ... because lots of folks are unemployed (and this does not include the under employed) ...
I am not bullish here but I remain neutral ... the MM's may push up the tape up or just hold its levels today ... I remain patient ...
Financials are pretty red in the pre-market and for that matter so is oil ... don't listen to all the CNBC bullish pumping being posted below ... it is nothing but a distraction from the reality of the charts ... good luck to everyone today ...
My highest odds going long today are at 1039. plus or minus 0.005%
1057 is still a good odds going long play today, plus or minus 0.0015%
$rut
My highest odds going long today is 560, plus or minus 0.005%
Still a good odds going long bet is 565.50, plus or minus 0.0015%
I will adjust position size according to the probabilities, if we sustain the pre-market selling.
Fwiw.

Thanks for the post.
I was reading an article on Sector Rotation.
http://www.sectortimingreport.com/sector-rotati...
If we are at or near the market top. Energy/ Staples should be nearing its peak.
I can see some Services names like MCD, WMT rallying...not sure if I should join in now...lol
I was wondering whether it is the correct timing to move into Utilities
Do you have any views on the above?
http://peterdag.com/s_files/mLcn829S3eP2.pdf
I'm a sector follower too...Utilities are struggling a bit with lower demand and credit problems. I actually thought they were rolling over, but I'm having to re-evaluate!

maybe CNBC should ask him how he likes working with a bunch of crooks.
... she conducted a webinar Thursday re: Fibonacci ... she has a focus on the mathematic side of things, so it may be good
it was recorded and I am wondering if it has worthwhile content?
thanks in advance.
I covered my /ES short from yesterday.
Good trading and good luck to everyone today.
Sold 1/2 TZA @ 13.43.....the rest...will ride today..
Added some TZA @ 12.62......
I'm back in a full OIH position (JAN125 calls), and covered/closed almost all of my shorts in the first 10 minutes.
Insightful market read as ever, moo. Get well soon.
Will not take any new trades today as my trading time for the next week is limited at best. Out now for a few hours...hope to be back for the last hour fun 'n games.
Good trading to all!
I'm online right now if you want to chat via g-talk, just let me
know... otherwise I'll send you an email this weekend!
PCS @ 5.80
GLD - Sold some Nov calls. GLD doing nicely considering FXE is going down.
But wanted to reduce position and take profits before the weekend. The premium in the calls sold was minimal and will be lesser after the weekend.

September consumer credit outstanding fell at a 7.19 percent annual rate to $2.46 trillion. August's figures were revised to show a $9.86 billion drop, previously reported as a $12 billion fall.
Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast consumer credit dropping by $10.0 billion in September. Consumer credit has now declined for eight consecutive months, the longest downward streak since the series started in 1943, according to the Fed.

I think we are entering the stage where the market will pick its winners and losers instead of lifting all the boats. This is increasingly looking like the summer of 2007.
The reaction of currencies today was interesting. The biggest drop was against the Yen. Today's job report has sealed any doubts about the Fed tightening any time soon. Traders who may have gone short the Yen predicting a reversal of the funding currency out of USD and back to Yen scrambled to cover. After the initial reaction it became clear that the USD carry trade is on in full force and most currencies recovered. It is very likely that King Dollar will continue its path down now that the pesky NFPs are out of the way.
However this is not necessarily positive for equities. Traditional risk asset correlations seem to be changing. Oil was down big today while equities rallied and Gold continues to go up. However, liquidity is not going to be drained from the system anytime soon and that should be positive for equities.
