I'm starting a new weekly topic.

Any time in here, this is where they usually act. I just can't see a Friday afternoon sell when they've been making it this strong on extremely poor economic results.

Understand, I thought this was worth a shot off that high with the 1-2 tick game. It's just that the odds of it playing out seem to be almost infinitely less than it used to be. The manipulation seems to be just a lot, lot worse than it has been over these last three years, and it's been insane over the last three years. Like they must ramp more and more just to keep things going.

So, if the odds are so poor, was it really worth taking a shot? Well, I exaggerate for effect when I say 'infinitely less'. It's just that if I do such a play, I tend to be even more jumpy and ready to cover quickly, since I just don't think they'll let it go. But, if they do, it could move a lot, so it seems worth a shot to me. It's very tricky trading against the tide, and down is always against the tide for this thing...

Careful, that may be it...

Yes, I think 99.00 will be it.

If so, I'd think they would have taken off like a shot off it, and so far they haven't...

They just wanted to do a 'retest' of that 99.00, that's all. Now it can run to close and smoke to new highs for the move.

The next area I am watching is 1403.50-5.00.

Interesting, it 'sees' this little 1-min bearish DB ABCD here. I doubt it can push it down much, but let's see.

Nothing would please me more than for this to be a 'W2' to send it down, but recall what a sucker bet that is in a strong uptrend.

Very curious how a half hour before the close and it is coiling right at a decision point for up or down, but a good squirt either way. In other words, I see this as a place for a good-sized leg, either way, to start from. That is an unusual position.

What a crazy finish. This market is just nuts. See everyone on Sunday.
