Starting it off.

The area between 45 and 55 is really strong.
The core level is 49-52. The second subarea one, not shown here, is at 55.

ES ready to drop.

The previous area didn't hold.
My next level is around 2090.

They need one more push around 1.1060 to hit key lines in the Euro .
The question is whether they will do it today or wait till European open tomorrow.

GOOGL is up a little in the aftermarket...

Pretty good reason, I think, for a big pop up in the stock. Then, again, as the article points out, any reason is a good reason for a pop in any/all stocks.

This is, indeed, the story of most of the people I know. Those in the middle class that are 'doing great' just don't understand the plight of the majority. I truly think some very, very bad things are headed our way ('our' being planet earth, as the issues are worldwide now).

As far as trading, I get tired of posting it, even though the entire purpose of this forum is to post trading stuff. The decade(s) of the same old same old (see the spot, post it, make a joke how it unfolded exactly as expected right to the most expected area, post another spot, ad nauseum) have gotten to me. Anyway, the ES bounced exactly as expected, right off Friday's area, with an insanely clear reversal signature, gave multiple entry opportunities last night and this AM, and ran exactly to the expected spot. I don't know, it's hard to get motivated to make my zillionth in advance post to a small handful of people that may not be getting much, from an educational standpoint, from it. Sorry to be the wet blanket of the forum. Most forums would kick me out, but, for better or worse, that can't happen here.

78?

Euro right in th earea posted yesterday.
Time for reaction.

Nice stuff, rat. Glad to see you back.
