I have no life... I'm starting this topic early because I am sitting around, waiting for Sunday night GLOBEX and my world to begin again...

As shown by rat, this is at the key 'lower high' retest point. I do not think this area will hold, I think it will give way. Just my own opinion, based partly on it being into the close on a Friday. We shall see. I'd love nothing more than for this to roll over into a 'W3' down, but I just don't see it.

Just roll over and sell into the close, you oinker. But I know they'll gun it up, I just know those scumbags will...

C'mon, sell you oinker.

They want to try to take out the key areas, I can feel it, but you know how they like to close it at key spots, too. I think it is going to pop into the close. Just a hunch.

And just as I say that, the little momentum burst it had got smacked back hard. Curious.

Okay, here they come. 'Everything is as it should be, in this, the best of all possible worlds.' From Candide by Voltaire.

Now, does it follow through, or was that a stop run head-fake?

It 'wants' that high at 23.00 (basis Sept), 29.50 (basis June), by a tick or two perhaps?

Looking more like the head-fake stop run at this point.

WMT exploding. One day from taking out that all-time high from '99.

Loopy Jim. I need more sleep. Lots more sleep. I was just sitting, watching the news on TV, pondering my day with the markets, when it hit me I had been off by one cycle in identifying the ES contracts in my posts. I was saying Mar like it was the ending contract and June like it was the upcoming rollover contract, when I meant June and Sept, respectively.

No one called me on it (if you see something like this please post a comment so I can get it straightened out). I'm sure everyone knew what I meant, and the highs I mentioned, with their numbers, would have made it clear which contract I meant, but anyway, I fixed it in the posts where I saw it. I think I got them all, but if not, feel free to point it out to me.

When I was much (much) younger I was into motocross racing. Like all the major endeavors in my life, I do things 110% or not at all. I had a T-shirt back then that I still remember word for word what it said: We eat, sleep, ride, talk, breathe, dream, live and love motorcycles. I need a new shirt now that says: We eat, sleep, ride, talk, breathe, dream, live and love the markets. The 'ride' part is especially apropos. I thought of this because before I remembered my Faux Pas with the contract dates I was going to post:

Like I mentioned last week, I have no life outside the markets. Here I sit, on a Friday night, my better half sitting there probably wishing I'd come up with something for her and I to do, and all I can think about is how am I going to make it to Sunday at 3 PM?...
