selling 1240 and 1242...


In O/N session.......1242 hasn't hit yet........betting they don't want to spend much time trading near the 1250 RAT on this opt. Exp Monday....


will hold for gap fill...
Game of chicken going on here at this 38.50 level.

Closed the short attempt at 1240.00 with a 3 tick loss.
trading for 38.50 run out...so short again
symetric volume should bring market back to midpoint of range and run outthe 38.50
39 is midpoint so buyers may protect a bit before that 38.50 ledge runs
My resistance this morning , pre- open , is 1239.75 - 1240.50.... (high vol + POC). Above that level is 1241.50 - 1242.00 (VAH + yest High).

Support clearly delineated at 1235.25. Below that is a low volume zone at 1232.00 - 1232.50 (in the middle of Friday's Value Area).

Got off a couple short trades yesterday late as market finally broke down through the 1238.50 support level.

This morning starting with a short at 1239.25

FOMC this afternoon, so expect things to slow down a bit through the late morning into lunchtime hours.

this is untradeable to me......watching pushes up away from Pivot and rat at 1237.50 to sell into..so basically using the 36 - 37.50 as a magnet...but haven't traded yet....


Last month on Tuesday and wednesday of Opt. expiration they kept it away from 1175 and 1200 Rats.......so lets see if they can keep it away from 1250 and 1225 over the next two days.....obvious Fed day and tax news may give the market some extra volatility but still watching those two areas as main keys
and I might add that the 37.50 splits those two RATS...! at the very least it may be fun to watch
Great job from everyone! BruceM, Lorn, Monkey M, & Pt-mini.

Thanks for sharing the way you see.
