Starting it off. Due to the Monday holiday I believe bonds and FX open outcry are closed, but GLOBEX is open. Stocks and futures for them are open as usual.

Here comes the pop?

Are they really going to leave 1800 for the Sunday night pop? Really?

No pop into the close or right after the close? Really? I can't imagine it, I just can't...

Here it comes?

'Too easy', too predictable. And... there's another new all-time high into the close... Same old, same old. Just another little shakeout.

Very nice 1-min acceleration to the obvious area for that checkback. Very technical trading, just following the screw the suckers routine to the letter, in my opinion.

Anyway, that gives the weekly bar a close for most things basically on their high ticks for the week, and for all time. Can't say that doesn't look bullish to the rubes.

Jim's daily trade potential evaluation/opinion: A slow day to start, but with very technical action. The second half was clear and clean and, by the methodology, an easy setup and management. Another day in 'trading paradise' with new all-time highs again (and again and again). One-sided market action leads to 'easy' trades.

Amazing how, after they popped it once more to new all-time highs into the cash close, they let it come back in a bit.
