some food for thought: when was the last time there was a bull trap?

We're likely looking at the flush OA1 was projecting for last Thurs/Fri....and I am very good with this happening. Extends the bull run in my opinion. I need extra bull run help exiting my dividend plays from this week - not a lot of help, but a little. Don't want to jinx myself, but if the stars stay aligned for me as for what I believe will happen (bull run continues through most of July), I'll be re-established in cash waiting on the "big one" to zippy down. And, I'll be one happy dude.
No mind games today, WE ARE RATTLED.

WFC could be thinking the personal lines are going to the NYSE and decided to mitigate risk by shuttering.
ETA: Today would be a good day for WFC to monitor withdrawals for margin calls to their internal trading business.

Yeah you can choose lots on assignment, who's your broker?
Interesting thought, my radically fiscal conservative mind would have never even thought of this........our financial literacy sucks.
Kind of frustrated with myself as I must've done something wrong. Put a buy order in yesterday morning for ELOX at $1.60, which is what it closed at but I guess it wasn't there long enough to execute my purchase.
ES is poking out of the upper range.......led by Real estate, utilities, and possibly energy.
from a 1% down day that could close the day green? NQ has touched the 8 EMA and so far rejected off of it. Still bullish.McInnis 03 said:

Farmer remember 430.01 from the other day? Let's see if that prior support now becomes a wall.

The order book is freaking LOADED at ES 4305. That's the bears last stand I guess.

Bulls just made a statement and NQ just broke resistance and the opening range, let's ride.McInnis 03 said:

what I'm finding interesting watching tape today is the up moves are "elevator up" and the down moves are stairs down.McInnis 03 said:Bulls just made a statement and NQ just broke resistance and the opening range, let's ride.McInnis 03 said:

Tells me that stairways are going to be crowded once that elevator reaches the top floor. Anyone for windows?

I'm your opposite, took weekly puts at resistance and it broke out, just took another weekly 429P at 430.47 thinking 8 would present some resistance...so far not working

I take it as less active bears and low motivation for longs to sell at these levels. More "ride it out" mentality since the past few red plunges have been bear traps. When we get limited buying we stair step down, but when we get any good volume buying we elevator up since the selling doesn't keep up.
SPY MT between yesterday H and today's low is about 431.14

simplistically, algorithms are trying to evoke a rally. A R/G rally today would be completely demoralizing to any bearishly biased position. At this moment we're up 0.8% from the LOD on SPX/NDX and almost 2% on RUT. RUT was oversold, so that was to be expected.McInnis 03 said:

These elevator ups haven't been on fantastic volume.
I do think there are a lot of people that dip bought right now that are declaring victory, but a retracement is needed for a better, more extended move to the downside. I was being serious when I asked how long it had been since we have had a bull trap. It's been months. This board has been pleased with itself for dip buying on bear traps.
