Financial history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes. You can't be stupid enough to trade off anything I say.... I'm lucky they let me out of the straight-jacket long enough to trade.

IF we can

Break 93.80 it should setup a fairly aggressive move.

"B"----"E"------ Aggressive.

sorry I just saw "Bring it on!"

How's this for diabolical thinking:
Najerian says lot of options both ways are being bought, so everyone is looking for a big move either up or down.

So, what would murder the most people: low volume churn and/or steady uptrend.

I'm going golfing.

ya.... I'm flip floping back to my bump and go..

the dollar isn't confirming the commodites... but that is normal..

we need commodity stocks to break down, then commodities, then oil stocks, then oil....

Tony said...

One more thing. We broke above 94.26 which was R1,

R2 = 94.87. 68% chance* this will get printed today (or afterhours) and then maybe a pb.

NFP tomorrow. I don't know the buzz.

*based on my exhaustive 10-year review of 10-minute charts of 25 different sectors. lol

I don't think anyone wants to be short in front of the nfp

and the bulls are using it to make a run..

Tony said...

Shouldn't have puked up FCX yesterday morning. I was thinking I was genius all day yesterday, now maybe not. I was a little heavy in materials, so a little profit taking ain't so bad.

Last two weeks looks like early recovery... I would argue maybe this is significantly different from the relief rally Mar9 to May8

May8 to now is different market. Your thoughts?

it's just top rotation...

I also think you want to top tick... and you just can never do it...

thinking you can causes more problems than it solves.

Tony said...

Not really looking to top tick so much as looking at this as a bona fide recovery with more up-move to it.

People keep talking about commodities as a sign of late cycle and therefore we are due for another test of lows or some such crap.

My argument is that early cycle sectors show outperformance since may8. Even yesterday, the market dumped on the collapse of late cycle stuff, not the early cycle things.

This seems more like an organic recovery than the oversold bounce we had Mar9 to may8.

I realize this is dangerous thinking... so maybe we churn for two weeks to burn up all those options buyers. ha.

The way almost every Intermediate High works is that the Commodities come up on the back of the move.

then a few sectors will start breaking down... Maybe Retail and Tech... then some of the other sectors start breaking down, then materials break down last.

It's how Jan broke down, and last May, August... all broke down..

but it's odd to me that banks and Real Estate are so strong...

all this is basically a weakening in Breadth... but there should be a rotation to it...

who knows if we move sideways for the rest of the year or what...

but we are 90% bullish... and before we think about playing the bear side aggressively... we want to have some kind of confirmed low.

But... this shit is going to get harder and harder till the bull cycle.

I expect once we dip down to have a very aggressive bounce... sort of a 10% correction that bounces back 6% and that is DD, and then we get our 20% correction...

and at this point raising cash for that 20% correction is what we need to be doing....

other than that... I'm just fucking around trying to keep the bills paid.

but right now these are just the last gasps...... One more breakout against the recent high... Or a Failed new high...

I always try to remember... the market will be there tomorrow... my biggest mistakes are when I think a move is getting away from me...
