10/31/2014 Friday night Addendum...
Two potentially conflicting events happen next week that could affect the overall markets:
1) Its the first Monday of the month...
Which according to self made millionaire trader Larry Williams suggests is an
opportune time for initiating long positions in the S&P 500 futures.
(link to a U-tube series that includes the first and last Mondays of every month events).
2) Election day is Tuesday...
****Been thinking since June that this will be a sell-the-news event regardless of the outcome (wrong)
(link to an off the wall idea by Sharpshorts).
10/31/2014 Friday
Strong up moves that topped before the majors opened. Spent much of the day recovering from an opening sell off.
The NQ and the YM closed in record territory with the ES very close to doing so but the RUT still has ~15 points to go.
6:30 AM...Impressive run ups overnight...NQ, YM and the ES breaking into new all time highs.
10/30/2014 Thursday
A fairly strong volume up day from the majors' open on...The ES...the YM...the RUT...the NQ
10/29/2014 Wednesday
Closing with long legged red spinners...Looking at the Change and % Change you might think that
not much happened today...The YM...the RUT...the ES and the NQ all down slightly on the FED news...
All closed with indecision sticks near their Brach Zones (except the NQ)...The YM & ES are at their over/under lines too...
The FED ZONE struck again - milder reaction than previous months... perhaps due to it being an anticipated announcement?
The Committee decided to conclude its asset purchase program this month
10/28/2014 Tuesday
Markets uncorked a big up day (on average volume)...The RUT(+2.8%) has caught up to the others relative to its BZ...
The NQ(+1.37%) is approaching it's Sept ATH...The ES(+1.18%) and the YM(+1.09%) were also up strong...
10/27/2014 Monday
Pretty much inconsequential sessions...The ES closed with a red spinner and the YM a white one.
The NQ also closed with a white spinner, the RUT a red doji dragonfly...
10/24/2014 Friday
Steady up trends for the major market hours on lower volume...The NQ (+.76%) still leading and above its BZ now...
Followed by the ES (+.71%) and the YM (+.75%) which has entered its BZ...
The RUT (+.14%) not participating today, closing with a hammer/spinner...
10/23/2014 Thursday
Quite a bit of movement today on more 'normal' volume...Little guys ruled...
The RUT gained the most (1.78%) but still short of its BZ...The next percentage mover was the NQ (+1.43%)
which hit the top of its BZ...then the YM (+1.14%) -flirting with the bottom of its BZ...Bringing up the rear
the ES put in a solid gain (+1.09%) and closed within its BZ...
10/23/2014 6:30 AM update ...mysterious overnight price action...guess I picked a bad night to go to sleep...
10/23/2014 10:30 AM update...Little guys leading...Good day sunshine...
10/23/2014 7:30 PM update...Bracketed measured moves, before and after the major markets
10/22/2014 Wednesday
Down day with the NQ and the ES sliding the least...the YM giving back 75% of yesterday's gain and the RUT about 90%...
10/21/2014 Tuesday
Solid percentage gains on better volume...The NQ (+2.74%) and the ES (+2.01%), each printing 3 white soldiers
and are at their BZ areas...The RUT (1.66%) and the YM (+1.34%) are working on 50% retraces of the Sept/Oct plunge.
10/20/2014 Monday
Up across the board but on lower volume again...
The NQ closed up 1.67%, the RUT up 1.28% and the ES up 1.02%...all closing at their highs.
The YM was the laggard today...up .18% and closing with a long legged doji-spinner...
****I added potential BZ retracement areas to the daily charts...the over/under lines on the NQ, ES and YM fall within the zones...
10/21/2014...NQ & ES have breached their zones (guessed right)
10/19/2014 Sunday
Update...BEAR FOOD from StockCharts ChartWatchers Newsletter...
10/17/2014 Friday...OEX
Strong upwards bias albeit on lower volume...session highs printed around lunchtime for the YM, the ES and the NQ...
The RUT bucked those trends and slipped lower all day...its session high was around the MMO at 9:30...
8:30 AM...Futs overnight seem to be responding positively so far...
10/16/2014 Thursday
Long legged spinners printed on the YM, the ES and the NQ on strong volume but closing basically flat for the session...
The RUT is still bucking the trend, moving up nicely today...
****The RUT has broken out of its channel. Combine that with two consecutive long tailed days
on the others' sticks, then add in Wednesday's volume exhaustion blow-out and we have the makings for
a bottoming process... (right)...(right) Friday's overnight chart
10/15/2014 Wednesday
Major volume and major ranges...the YM's was 560 points...The ES ranged 60 points, the NQ 's was 41 and the RUT's was 35...
Very wild down sessions with afternoon recoveries of around 40% of the ranges...
BUT the RUT closed up for the session...has been in its own funk for the last few days, not following the others down...
10/14/2014 Tuesday
Up action on the sessions until lunch time...Then the markets gave it all back...YM...ES...NQ...RUT...
10/13/2014 Monday
Down on big volume again, selling off heavily in the late afternoon...The ES closing below its August low as did the NQ...
The YM looks like its a day behind them...Odd that the RUT was almost UNCH for the session, closing with a spinner...
10/10/2014 Friday
A brief move up after the majors opened but solidly down from there. The YM closed at its low as did the ES...
The NQ was down 3% today...it blew thru it's BZ, so did the ES....on their way to August's lows...
And the RUT has now retraced the July thru August rally to its 161% level.
8:45 AM...The overnight sessions put the YM and ES solidly within their Brach Zone reversal areas...
****Harami spinners...suggesting a reversal of yesterday's sessions... (wrong) (except for 15 min after the MMO)
10/09/2014 Thursday
Big move down wiping out more than yesterday's gains, on VERY strong volume...Closing back within the channels...
From their most recent low-to-high runs, the retraces have been YM ~64% ...ES ~75% ...NQ ~63% ...RUT ~150%...
After lunch activity was high-ish again with little evidence of short covering to move them up at the close...
10/08/2014 Wednesday
FED meeting today "no hurry to raise rates"...Big move up on strong volume with outside candles closing at the highs...
Prices were flat/slightly down until 11 AM then trended up all afternoon on above average pace after lunchtime ...
The ES reversed in its Brach Zone, YM and NQ just touching theirs...the RUT
and the others testing/breaking their upper channel lines...
10/07/2014 Tuesday
Down on larger volume again...a sure sign of weakness and down trending markets...The channels are still containing price...YM...ES...NQ...RUT...
10/06/2014 Monday
Long legged spinners, down at the close on lower volume than of late...
Still within their channels after breaching the upper lines earlier in the day
...YM...ES...NQ...RUT
10/03/2014 Friday
Wide ranges...UP...defining new channel lines...Dailies...Sessions...
2:00 PM - a look at the dailies...
10/02/2014 Thursday
Large ranges, 'V' reversal day on very high volume - mostly closing UNCH ...EXCEPT the RUT, up nicely...YM...ES...NQ...
Revised ES 6 month daily...channel support annotated...Over/under lines are also drawn on the session charts...
****Closing long tailed spinners/hammers/harami? (Candlestick speak for a pause or reversal)...(right...as of the close Friday)
10/01/2014 Wednesday
High volume down trend from session start to the close...ES...YM...NQ...RUT...
Patterns on the dailies are broken...Have been mentioning over the past week or so - down days having big volume, up days with less...
****The Bull has turned Bearish...(as of 10/07/2014...Guessed right)
Two potentially conflicting events happen next week that could affect the overall markets:
1) Its the first Monday of the month...
Which according to self made millionaire trader Larry Williams suggests is an
opportune time for initiating long positions in the S&P 500 futures.
(link to a U-tube series that includes the first and last Mondays of every month events).
2) Election day is Tuesday...
****Been thinking since June that this will be a sell-the-news event regardless of the outcome (wrong)
(link to an off the wall idea by Sharpshorts).
10/31/2014 Friday
Strong up moves that topped before the majors opened. Spent much of the day recovering from an opening sell off.
The NQ and the YM closed in record territory with the ES very close to doing so but the RUT still has ~15 points to go.
6:30 AM...Impressive run ups overnight...NQ, YM and the ES breaking into new all time highs.
10/30/2014 Thursday
A fairly strong volume up day from the majors' open on...The ES...the YM...the RUT...the NQ
10/29/2014 Wednesday
Closing with long legged red spinners...Looking at the Change and % Change you might think that
not much happened today...The YM...the RUT...the ES and the NQ all down slightly on the FED news...
All closed with indecision sticks near their Brach Zones (except the NQ)...The YM & ES are at their over/under lines too...
The FED ZONE struck again - milder reaction than previous months... perhaps due to it being an anticipated announcement?
The Committee decided to conclude its asset purchase program this month
10/28/2014 Tuesday
Markets uncorked a big up day (on average volume)...The RUT(+2.8%) has caught up to the others relative to its BZ...
The NQ(+1.37%) is approaching it's Sept ATH...The ES(+1.18%) and the YM(+1.09%) were also up strong...
10/27/2014 Monday
Pretty much inconsequential sessions...The ES closed with a red spinner and the YM a white one.
The NQ also closed with a white spinner, the RUT a red doji dragonfly...
The RUT session printed two successful continuation patterns with slingshots.
A measured move in the morning followed by a cup & handle after lunch...
10/24/2014 Friday
Steady up trends for the major market hours on lower volume...The NQ (+.76%) still leading and above its BZ now...
Followed by the ES (+.71%) and the YM (+.75%) which has entered its BZ...
The RUT (+.14%) not participating today, closing with a hammer/spinner...
Quite a bit of movement today on more 'normal' volume...Little guys ruled...
The RUT gained the most (1.78%) but still short of its BZ...The next percentage mover was the NQ (+1.43%)
which hit the top of its BZ...then the YM (+1.14%) -flirting with the bottom of its BZ...Bringing up the rear
the ES put in a solid gain (+1.09%) and closed within its BZ...
10/23/2014 6:30 AM update ...mysterious overnight price action...guess I picked a bad night to go to sleep...
10/23/2014 7:30 PM update...Bracketed measured moves, before and after the major markets
10/22/2014 Wednesday
Down day with the NQ and the ES sliding the least...the YM giving back 75% of yesterday's gain and the RUT about 90%...
10/21/2014 Tuesday
Solid percentage gains on better volume...The NQ (+2.74%) and the ES (+2.01%), each printing 3 white soldiers
and are at their BZ areas...The RUT (1.66%) and the YM (+1.34%) are working on 50% retraces of the Sept/Oct plunge.
10/20/2014 Monday
Up across the board but on lower volume again...
The NQ closed up 1.67%, the RUT up 1.28% and the ES up 1.02%...all closing at their highs.
The YM was the laggard today...up .18% and closing with a long legged doji-spinner...
****I added potential BZ retracement areas to the daily charts...the over/under lines on the NQ, ES and YM fall within the zones...
10/21/2014...NQ & ES have breached their zones (guessed right)
10/19/2014 Sunday
Update...BEAR FOOD from StockCharts ChartWatchers Newsletter...
10/17/2014 Friday...OEX
Strong upwards bias albeit on lower volume...session highs printed around lunchtime for the YM, the ES and the NQ...
The RUT bucked those trends and slipped lower all day...its session high was around the MMO at 9:30...
8:30 AM...Futs overnight seem to be responding positively so far...
10/16/2014 Thursday
Long legged spinners printed on the YM, the ES and the NQ on strong volume but closing basically flat for the session...
The RUT is still bucking the trend, moving up nicely today...
on the others' sticks, then add in Wednesday's volume exhaustion blow-out and we have the makings for
a bottoming process... (right)...(right) Friday's overnight chart
10/15/2014 Wednesday
Major volume and major ranges...the YM's was 560 points...The ES ranged 60 points, the NQ 's was 41 and the RUT's was 35...
BUT the RUT closed up for the session...has been in its own funk for the last few days, not following the others down...
10/14/2014 Tuesday
Up action on the sessions until lunch time...Then the markets gave it all back...YM...ES...NQ...RUT...
10/13/2014 Monday
Down on big volume again, selling off heavily in the late afternoon...The ES closing below its August low as did the NQ...
The YM looks like its a day behind them...Odd that the RUT was almost UNCH for the session, closing with a spinner...
10/10/2014 Friday
A brief move up after the majors opened but solidly down from there. The YM closed at its low as did the ES...
The NQ was down 3% today...it blew thru it's BZ, so did the ES....on their way to August's lows...
And the RUT has now retraced the July thru August rally to its 161% level.
****Harami spinners...suggesting a reversal of yesterday's sessions... (wrong) (except for 15 min after the MMO)
10/09/2014 Thursday
Big move down wiping out more than yesterday's gains, on VERY strong volume...Closing back within the channels...
From their most recent low-to-high runs, the retraces have been YM ~64% ...ES ~75% ...NQ ~63% ...RUT ~150%...
After lunch activity was high-ish again with little evidence of short covering to move them up at the close...
10/08/2014 Wednesday
FED meeting today "no hurry to raise rates"...Big move up on strong volume with outside candles closing at the highs...
Prices were flat/slightly down until 11 AM then trended up all afternoon on above average pace after lunchtime ...

10/01/2014 Wednesday
High volume down trend from session start to the close...ES...YM...NQ...RUT...
Patterns on the dailies are broken...Have been mentioning over the past week or so - down days having big volume, up days with less...

September 2014 ----------------------------------------
EOM summary of statistics
09/30/2014 Tuesday
Volume still strong, slightly less range and mostly long tailed spinners...down.
...ES...YM...NQ...RUT...which closed below a 'perfect' 2B...
09/29/2014 Monday
Larry Williams suggests we expect bullish price action on the first and last Mondays of the month...which worked today...
Hammers on the close, perhaps a bottom...ES...YM...NQ...RUT...
****The RUT may also have put in a tweezer pair...(wrong)
09/26/2014 Friday
What goes down must go up...all four FUTs up but on lower volume than yesterday's down move...ES...YM...NQ...RUT
****Quite an eventful week, closing with some bullish possibilities to ponder.
ES and YM are annotated with mega-phones and back above their over/under lines...
RUT and NQ...perfect double bottom but the NQ's channel break is troubling, even though it did close back in it...
My four horsemen...daily/weekly INDU, SPX, NDX, RUT...who's leading whom?
The RUT has been going sideways for nearly a year while the others have continued to climb...
09/25/2014 Thursday
Major reversal again today - down bigtime...Very large volume with 1.5 to 2% negative change...ES...YM...NQ...RUT
ES and YM broke support on the dailies...Histo divergences in the afternoon on the sessions slowed but failed to reverse the selling.
**** I have doubts that the 2B on the RUT's daily will hold...(10/1/2014 guessed right)
09/24/2014 Wednesday
Major upwards reversal today, closing with long candles near the highs...Measured Moves drawn as the YM and the NQ entered their BZs...
The ES retraced 50% of the swoon since Friday's highs but the RUT has a long way to go...
09/23/2014 Tuesday
More of the same as yesterday...YM...ES...NQ...RUT
****11:15 PM update... Seeing Harami pairs on three of four FUTs so far in Wednesday's sessions...
(candlestick speak for a change in direction...or at least a pause in the current one)
11:30 AM Update...Wednesday mid-morning YM+ES....NQ+RUT (guessed right so far...)
09/22/2014 Monday
A trend day down, large losses and strong volume/pace...Session & daily charts for the YM...the ES...the NQ...and the RUT.
09/19/2014 Friday...OEX
Strong for the week with new ATH's but Friday's action was negative overall - the YM and the ES closed flat-ish , the NQ
gave back about 1/2 of Thursday's gain...The RLM was rejected at the upper TL and ran down hard...
These two RUT sets document the action over the last week's run up...was expecting a pull-back Thursday , not the rout we got on Friday...
09/18/2014 Thursday
All FUTs closed up nicely, near the highs. The YM and the ES closed in record ATH territory with the NQ nearly there.
The RUT was up as well, mostly in the pre-MMO session but coming on strong run near the close.
Pace was markedly slower today, especially before and after lunch but volume was still up there.
The YM Ran up another 24 points from 4:30 through 5:15...ES +1.75 and the NQ +2.50 ...
09/17/2014 Wednesday...The FED spoke **
Another weird day, high volume day with more activity after lunch than before (post FED news). The YM , the ES and NQ closed with spinners.
The YM and ES broke into new ATH territory but couldn't hold it...The RUT bringing up the rear...
**Pre & post FED speak..100 point YM swing...again
Back in June, the FED spoke and there was a 1 minute 100 point swing in the YM...
09/16/2014 Tuesday
Big up day on volume...the over-night was down but the YM...the ES... and the NQ rallied from 9:30 on...
the RUT wasn't so sure until after 11:00...
09/15/2014 Monday
Weird day - the YM closed up, the ES flat while both the NQ and the RLM were down large...
09/12/2014 Friday
Roll-over began as volume shifted to the December contracts - mostly down with some recovery towards the close...
Dailies have the look of rounded tops...Combined daily and entire session charts.....YM.....ES......NQ......RLM
The RUT dropped out of its channel again...
09/11/2014 Thursday...National Day Of Prayer, remember September 11th
Wide ranges but basically unchanged except for the RUT - back into the channel up .76%...
Daily and two session combined charts - YM...ES...NQ...RLM
09-10-2014 Wednesday
Active and closing up - regaining about half of yesterday's losses...with the NQ getting back up to Monday's level...YM...ES...NQ...RLM
The RUT is re-testing it's lower channel line which I consider "broken"...
09/09/2014 Tuesday
Very active downward bias, closing near the lows...YM...ES...NQ...RLM
09/08/2014 Monday
Narrow ranges closing mixed...NQ...RLM...YM...ES...
09/05/2014 Friday
Very active and volume has returned but staying within the recent ranges. All closing positive after the overnight was down substantially.
Combined charts for each market, showing lunchtime thru the MMC, the entire session and a short term daily...NQ...ES...YM...RLM
****The RUT's daily looks as if it may have hammered out a low, creating a new channel...
9/09/2014 update - RLM closed below the channel (I guessed wrong)
09/04/2014 Thursday
Again - wide ranges, more active and not much change in the YM & ES while the NQ & RUT were off more.
The YM printed an ATH but couldn't hold it. Dailies closed with long legged spinners.
The two session charts showing a lot of movement...Both the NQ & RUT making lower lows.
09/03/2014 Wednesday
Wide ranges and more active than of late...not much change in the bigger markets, the NQ and RUT were off 1/2 %...
They all popped up at yesterday's open then trended down for the rest of their sessions.
Combined daily and session charts - ...NQ & ES ... RLM & YM ...
09/02/2014 Tuesday
Post Labor Day not especially active...Daily charts and sessions.
August 2014 ----------------------------------------
EOM summary of statistics
08/29/2014 Friday
Volume moved up today, nice range and closing with long legged spinners...Combined session and daily charts - YM...ES...NQ...RUT...
The RUT broke down out of it's wedge for the 2nd day but closed back up in it.
08/28/2014 Thursday
Lots of range and movement for so little change...dailies closing with hammer-ish sticks with long tails...
Two session charts showing good trading opportunities...
7:30 AM Nice reversal off the session low
08/27/2014 Wednesday
Low volume, narrow range day...and closing down slightly...combined session and daily charts...ES...YM...RUT...NQ
08/26/2014 Tuesday
Like the Energizer bunny - "still going" up on low volume...the RUT has finally entered its Brach Zone while the rest are making new ATHs...
Session charts show the up trends giving some back at the EOD..except for the RUT - it never looked back!
08/25/2014 Monday
Strongly up in the morning but giving much of the gains back in the afternoon...on low volume...see the session charts.
Tough day at the salt mines...excuses, excuses, excuses...
08/22/2014 Friday
Mild and mixed on the dailies...volume increased a bit with slightly narrower ranges...lots of chop on the sessions.
08/21/2010 Thursday
Mildly up and back to lower volume again - perhaps it's just the dog days of summer...
Session charts have the ES and YM trending up, a V bottom in the RUT while the NQ looks like it fought resistance much of the day.
The RUT is seriously lagging...There are some conflicting patterns on the RLM:
a bullish inverse head & shoulders and a bearish rising wedge with the BZ reversal area perhaps coming into play soon.
Update - The BZ reversal area and the rising wedge prevailed....
08/20/2014 Wednesday
A lot more active today - AND on an up move...NQ & ES leading with the YM & RLM coming up from behind...
Except for the RUT the session charts show the up trends...the RLM made for some good trade opportunities...
****We shall see if these bullish patterns on the RUT session pan out...(I guessed wrong)
08/19/2014 Tuesday
Once more we're up nicely for the day although activity and volume are still on the light side.
The sessions trended up all day except for the RUT, which put in it's high by 10:15 then went sideways.
2:10 PM Slower pace again today...narrower range so far as well.
08/18/2014 Monday
Big gains but on unimpressive volume...NQ & ES still leading the YM & RLM.
About half as active today compared to Friday...NQ & ES 2 session and the YM & RLM 2 session chart sets.
08/15/2014 Friday...OEX
Volume is back on a down day, NQ relatively unaffected...Wide ranging long legged spinners, especially the RUT.
Session charts with some wild annotations included on the RLM chart. Will be interesting seeing what the weekend does to the patterns.
1:30 PM - Heavily down so far after a bullish open...Two failed RUT patterns before breaking the down trend...
Some are blaming OEX for the drop. Higher volume than the past few days already...
**** Another off the wall extrapolation for the continuation of the bull...Long legged spinner on the daily
speaks of the market trying to make up it's mind...but the pennant breakout may lead to a run-back-up (Inverse H&S pattern)...
08/14/2014 Thursday
Another gain on low volume...NQ leading and thru it's BZ retrace area while the ES is just entering it's zone...
The session charts show the week so far with nice trends yesterday and today...
08/13/2014 Wednesday
FUTs still rising on low volume and are nearing their BZ retrace levels...all but the RUT**...
The sessions where bullish pretty much all day...
**** The RUT printed a bullish stick sandwich after histo divergence and the trend line break, so it should continue up...
(guessed right so far...albeit only a minor up day on Thursday)
08/12/2014 Tuesday
Another low volume, low activity day with very narrow ranges...closing basicly UNCH...
The session charts show that there were good trading opportunities available...
Pre-MMO - overnight charts ... daily and session.
08/11/2014 Monday
A lower volume, mild up day activity-wise...big moves in the overnight thru noon then gave some of it back...Here are the session charts...
08/08/2014 Friday
Strong reversals on the dailies today and wide ranges...outside days in the YM & ES.
The session charts trending up nicely...
****Some bullish T/A : (guessed right)
RUT trying to break it's trend line after 5-waves down into the BZ...bullish divergences too...
YM also ventured into it's BZ, ES retracing 50% while the NQ still holding up well...
Quite a few long tailed reversals over the past few days suggesting short covering and everything is O/S...
Yesterday's YM & ES charts show LT trend lines as support.
08/07/2014 Thursday
More downward pressure on the dailies...the YM & ES are nearing their LT trend lines...
Session charts trending down too albeit slightly less frantically than the past several...
08/06/2014 Wednesday
Closing spinners/doji indicate the lack of certain direction today on the dailies.
The sessions charts showing more 'normal' activity levels vs. the past few days.
08/05/2014 Tuesday
The NQ is looking very out of sync with the other markets, still hanging around its lower channel line.
Extremely active sessions again today measured by the tick counts needed to fit the charts.
08/04/2014 Monday
Reversing Friday's selling and closing positive...the session charts show the reversal starting at 11:00 AM.
08/01/2014 Friday
The FUTs closing the day down after yesterday's selling rush...
The session charts showing the down-up-down patterns of indecision...
7:45 AM The sell off continues...looks like the Techs have been late getting the news.
JULY 2014 ----------------------------------------
EOM Summary of statistics
07/31/2014 Thursday
The day of reckoning that everyone has been expecting finally arrived!
The YM and ES clearly broke their lower trend lines but the NQ is still within its channel...the RUT is re-visiting its BZ retrace level...
Very active trading and nothing but selling on all session charts...
07/30/2014 Wednesday
The FED spoke this afternoon and the economy is doing terrific of course...
Long legged doji spinners on the YM & ES while the NQ and RLM had less range...
Relatively active sessions again today...
8:00 AM Interesting over-night session action...RLM leading
07/29/2014 Tuesday
Negative day on the YM and ES with long solid candles, the NQ was down slightly and the RLM ended positive...
A bit more active today judging by the tick sizes needed to show the sessions...
07/28/2014 Monday
Long tail penetrated the lower TL but the YM closed up for the session...
Long lower tails on the ES & NQ too, closing slightly positive...the RUT was down...
And the session charts showing the "V" day...
****Harami-like candlestick pairs on the YM & ES 'should' be the end of the down turn...The long tails also suggest a bottom..
9:00 AM Wednesday :(guessed right for a little while) But by the EOD Wednesday : (I was proved wrong...)
07/25/2014 Friday
Today's long red candle on the YM stopped at the lower trend line...the rest of the FUTs
were also down but not quite as much.
The 5 session charts show the YM down the most week-over-week with the ES
unchanged, the NQ up slightly and the RLM down slightly.
07/24/2014 Thursday
Giving back yesterday's gains but fairly uneventful with low volume...The session charts continuing down after the 4:15 pm pause...
07/23/2014 Wednesday
ES and NQ leading with closing ATHs on the dailies while the YM and RLM follow...here are the session charts...
07/22/2014 Tuesday
Up movement today gaining more than yesterday's selling with the YM, ES and NQ meeting or surpassing ATHs...
The RUT remains below the others but has broken it's down trend line.
And the session charts...
07/21/2014 Monday
A down day with long lower tails...for awhile there it looked like a negative stick sandwich was in the works...
Heavy morning selling reversed before lunch - "V" days are shown by the session charts for the FUTs...
07/18/2014 Friday...OEX
4:15 PM As if yesterday never happened - nothing but up all day...even the RUT participated...Daily charts...
Volume on Thursday's sell-off and Friday's recovery were well above the norms. Whether it indicates market froth
at the top or just position repositioning for a bull continuation is yet to be seen...
****Another down day like Thursday would create a negative "stick sandwich" suggesting a top...(I guessed wrong...)
7:00 AM The new sessions made LLs but have recovered a bit...The RUT has reached down into the Brach Zone...
07/17/2014 Thursday
Relatively high volume wide ranging down day on the daily charts...BZ target drawn on the RUT...
Very active sessions through the close of the majors...and afterwards...(YM+ES) and the (NQ + RLM)...
07/16/2014 Wednesday
The YM still making new ATHs with the ES+NQ close behind...the RUT continues to close down...
Got a nice lunchtime reversal today which is a bit unusual...
Here's the session charts for the major markets open/close today...(YM+ES) and (NQ+RLM).
07/15/2014 Tuesday
Wide ranges on the dailies but going nowhere...Long legged spinner on the YM
at the close of the major markets...**** Candlestick speak for "that's all folks"...(I guessed wrong...missed by two days)
The RUT looks ragged here...
07/14/2014 Monday
Nice solid gains on low-ish volume on the dailies with the NQ and YM leading the charge...the RUT is still in a rut...
Session charts for Monday...%-wise the RLM is not showing it's usual 1 1/2 to 2x lead...
07/11/2014 Friday
An up day for all the FUTs except the RUT...the session charts for the week show YM & ES coming back strong
from Thursday's early morning sell-off with the NQ leading and the RUT not participating.
07/10/2014 Thursday
Wide ranges down for the session but recovered much of the over night selling...
The dailies printing long tails below their bodies...the YM with its largest range since early May...
6:00 AM War realizations beginning to set in?..Over night Session charts since last week's highs and the dailies.
Very active for the over night...
07/09/2014 Wednesday
The YM,ES and NQ rallied and got much of it back today but the RLM still hanging back...
The session charts show narrower, more 'normal' ranges...
07/08/2014 Tuesday
Another day with broad selling pressure...relatively active sessions too...
Looks like the daily RUT is leading the pack...
9:45 AM - sell off across the boards...
07/0807/07/2014 Monday
The session charts show mostly choppy ranges today...The dailies have the YM, ES and NQ stalling near their recent highs
while the RUT dropped like a stone...****the new leader?? (guessed right this time)
07/03/2014 Thursday
Nice moves up inspite of the shortened session ahead of Independence Day celebrations...
Looking at the dailies you'd be hard pressed to guess they were short sessions.
YM matching it's all-time high, ES busting it's upper wedge line and the NQ at the top of it's channel.
The RUT moving up, reversing yesterday's H&S reaction...Here's the price action the FUTs printed on the session...
07/02/2014 Wednesday
Narrow trendless chop on the session charts, except for the RLM which responded to the H&S from yesterday's session, trending down all day.
Tiny spinners on the daily charts...the YM holding above it's triangle...the RLM printed a longer bar, giving back 1/2 of yesterday's gain.
07/01/2014 Tuesday
The sessions were relatively active on the NOTHING BUT UP trends...
On the dailies, the ES and NQ are leading, hand in hand...kinda odd for the general market and the techs
to be doing this while the YM is lagging ...the RUT is still in catch up mode but moving fast...
****It looks as if the YM & ES wedges could turn into channels - they would need to break their
upper trend lines in the next few days or weeks.
11:45 AM Last week's spinner/doji tails proving to be stop sweeps ...leading into today's triangle bust out.
JUNE 2014 ----------------------------------------
EOM Summary of statistics
06/30/2014 Monday
Daily set - Another set of spinners, narrower ranges but a replay of Friday & Thursday of last week...
also the same end-of-day slowdown that I've noticed as of late - session charts.
06/27/2014 Friday
The YM and ES closed flat while the NQ and RLM moved up on the session.
****What a difference a day makes...
7:45 AM - Price is bearishly dropping out of the wedge, thru the trend line on the daily YM...for the third consecutive session...(I guessed wrong)
3:08 PM - Alternatively a case could be made that the techs and little guys are leading while the YM is forming
a consolidation triangle that will break in the direction of the longer term trend...following the leaders up.
4:10 PM - A little longer time frame makes the YM + ES look a little less bearish...Are the long tails on the last three
EOM summary of statistics
09/30/2014 Tuesday
Volume still strong, slightly less range and mostly long tailed spinners...down.
...ES...YM...NQ...RUT...which closed below a 'perfect' 2B...
09/29/2014 Monday
Larry Williams suggests we expect bullish price action on the first and last Mondays of the month...which worked today...
Hammers on the close, perhaps a bottom...ES...YM...NQ...RUT...
****The RUT may also have put in a tweezer pair...(wrong)
09/26/2014 Friday
What goes down must go up...all four FUTs up but on lower volume than yesterday's down move...ES...YM...NQ...RUT
ES and YM are annotated with mega-phones and back above their over/under lines...
RUT and NQ...perfect double bottom but the NQ's channel break is troubling, even though it did close back in it...
My four horsemen...daily/weekly INDU, SPX, NDX, RUT...who's leading whom?
The RUT has been going sideways for nearly a year while the others have continued to climb...
09/25/2014 Thursday
Major reversal again today - down bigtime...Very large volume with 1.5 to 2% negative change...ES...YM...NQ...RUT
ES and YM broke support on the dailies...Histo divergences in the afternoon on the sessions slowed but failed to reverse the selling.
**** I have doubts that the 2B on the RUT's daily will hold...(10/1/2014 guessed right)
09/24/2014 Wednesday
Major upwards reversal today, closing with long candles near the highs...Measured Moves drawn as the YM and the NQ entered their BZs...
The ES retraced 50% of the swoon since Friday's highs but the RUT has a long way to go...
09/23/2014 Tuesday
More of the same as yesterday...YM...ES...NQ...RUT
(candlestick speak for a change in direction...or at least a pause in the current one)
09/22/2014 Monday
A trend day down, large losses and strong volume/pace...Session & daily charts for the YM...the ES...the NQ...and the RUT.
09/19/2014 Friday...OEX
Strong for the week with new ATH's but Friday's action was negative overall - the YM and the ES closed flat-ish , the NQ
gave back about 1/2 of Thursday's gain...The RLM was rejected at the upper TL and ran down hard...
09/18/2014 Thursday
All FUTs closed up nicely, near the highs. The YM and the ES closed in record ATH territory with the NQ nearly there.
The RUT was up as well, mostly in the pre-MMO session but coming on strong run near the close.
Pace was markedly slower today, especially before and after lunch but volume was still up there.
09/17/2014 Wednesday...The FED spoke **
Another weird day, high volume day with more activity after lunch than before (post FED news). The YM , the ES and NQ closed with spinners.
The YM and ES broke into new ATH territory but couldn't hold it...The RUT bringing up the rear...
09/16/2014 Tuesday
Big up day on volume...the over-night was down but the YM...the ES... and the NQ rallied from 9:30 on...
the RUT wasn't so sure until after 11:00...
09/15/2014 Monday
Weird day - the YM closed up, the ES flat while both the NQ and the RLM were down large...
09/12/2014 Friday
Roll-over began as volume shifted to the December contracts - mostly down with some recovery towards the close...
Dailies have the look of rounded tops...Combined daily and entire session charts.....YM.....ES......NQ......RLM
09/11/2014 Thursday...National Day Of Prayer, remember September 11th
Wide ranges but basically unchanged except for the RUT - back into the channel up .76%...
Daily and two session combined charts - YM...ES...NQ...RLM
Active and closing up - regaining about half of yesterday's losses...with the NQ getting back up to Monday's level...YM...ES...NQ...RLM
The RUT is re-testing it's lower channel line which I consider "broken"...
Very active downward bias, closing near the lows...YM...ES...NQ...RLM
Narrow ranges closing mixed...NQ...RLM...YM...ES...
09/05/2014 Friday
Very active and volume has returned but staying within the recent ranges. All closing positive after the overnight was down substantially.
Combined charts for each market, showing lunchtime thru the MMC, the entire session and a short term daily...NQ...ES...YM...RLM
9/09/2014 update - RLM closed below the channel (I guessed wrong)
09/04/2014 Thursday
Again - wide ranges, more active and not much change in the YM & ES while the NQ & RUT were off more.
The YM printed an ATH but couldn't hold it. Dailies closed with long legged spinners.
The two session charts showing a lot of movement...Both the NQ & RUT making lower lows.
09/03/2014 Wednesday
Wide ranges and more active than of late...not much change in the bigger markets, the NQ and RUT were off 1/2 %...
They all popped up at yesterday's open then trended down for the rest of their sessions.
Combined daily and session charts - ...NQ & ES ... RLM & YM ...
09/02/2014 Tuesday
Post Labor Day not especially active...Daily charts and sessions.
August 2014 ----------------------------------------
EOM summary of statistics
08/29/2014 Friday
Volume moved up today, nice range and closing with long legged spinners...Combined session and daily charts - YM...ES...NQ...RUT...
The RUT broke down out of it's wedge for the 2nd day but closed back up in it.
08/28/2014 Thursday
Lots of range and movement for so little change...dailies closing with hammer-ish sticks with long tails...
Two session charts showing good trading opportunities...
08/27/2014 Wednesday
Low volume, narrow range day...and closing down slightly...combined session and daily charts...ES...YM...RUT...NQ
08/26/2014 Tuesday
Like the Energizer bunny - "still going" up on low volume...the RUT has finally entered its Brach Zone while the rest are making new ATHs...
Session charts show the up trends giving some back at the EOD..except for the RUT - it never looked back!
08/25/2014 Monday
Strongly up in the morning but giving much of the gains back in the afternoon...on low volume...see the session charts.
08/22/2014 Friday
Mild and mixed on the dailies...volume increased a bit with slightly narrower ranges...lots of chop on the sessions.
08/21/2010 Thursday
Mildly up and back to lower volume again - perhaps it's just the dog days of summer...
a bullish inverse head & shoulders and a bearish rising wedge with the BZ reversal area perhaps coming into play soon.
08/20/2014 Wednesday
A lot more active today - AND on an up move...NQ & ES leading with the YM & RLM coming up from behind...
Except for the RUT the session charts show the up trends...the RLM made for some good trade opportunities...
12:00 PM Thursday The overnight negated the patterns but by noon a V bottom reversal completed.
08/19/2014 Tuesday
Once more we're up nicely for the day although activity and volume are still on the light side.
The sessions trended up all day except for the RUT, which put in it's high by 10:15 then went sideways.
08/18/2014 Monday
Big gains but on unimpressive volume...NQ & ES still leading the YM & RLM.
About half as active today compared to Friday...NQ & ES 2 session and the YM & RLM 2 session chart sets.
08/15/2014 Friday...OEX
Volume is back on a down day, NQ relatively unaffected...Wide ranging long legged spinners, especially the RUT.
Session charts with some wild annotations included on the RLM chart. Will be interesting seeing what the weekend does to the patterns.
1:30 PM - Heavily down so far after a bullish open...Two failed RUT patterns before breaking the down trend...
Some are blaming OEX for the drop. Higher volume than the past few days already...
speaks of the market trying to make up it's mind...but the pennant breakout may lead to a run-back-up (Inverse H&S pattern)...
9:00 PM Sunday - Update...Off the wall idea indeed! (I guessed right)
08/14/2014 Thursday
Another gain on low volume...NQ leading and thru it's BZ retrace area while the ES is just entering it's zone...
The session charts show the week so far with nice trends yesterday and today...
FUTs still rising on low volume and are nearing their BZ retrace levels...all but the RUT**...
The sessions where bullish pretty much all day...
**** The RUT printed a bullish stick sandwich after histo divergence and the trend line break, so it should continue up...
(guessed right so far...albeit only a minor up day on Thursday)
08/12/2014 Tuesday
Another low volume, low activity day with very narrow ranges...closing basicly UNCH...
The session charts show that there were good trading opportunities available...
08/11/2014 Monday
A lower volume, mild up day activity-wise...big moves in the overnight thru noon then gave some of it back...Here are the session charts...
08/08/2014 Friday
Strong reversals on the dailies today and wide ranges...outside days in the YM & ES.
The session charts trending up nicely...
****Some bullish T/A : (guessed right)
RUT trying to break it's trend line after 5-waves down into the BZ...bullish divergences too...
YM also ventured into it's BZ, ES retracing 50% while the NQ still holding up well...
Quite a few long tailed reversals over the past few days suggesting short covering and everything is O/S...
Yesterday's YM & ES charts show LT trend lines as support.
08/07/2014 Thursday
More downward pressure on the dailies...the YM & ES are nearing their LT trend lines...
Session charts trending down too albeit slightly less frantically than the past several...
Closing spinners/doji indicate the lack of certain direction today on the dailies.
08/05/2014 Tuesday
The NQ is looking very out of sync with the other markets, still hanging around its lower channel line.
Extremely active sessions again today measured by the tick counts needed to fit the charts.
Reversing Friday's selling and closing positive...the session charts show the reversal starting at 11:00 AM.
08/01/2014 Friday
The FUTs closing the day down after yesterday's selling rush...
The session charts showing the down-up-down patterns of indecision...
7:45 AM The sell off continues...looks like the Techs have been late getting the news.
JULY 2014 ----------------------------------------
EOM Summary of statistics
07/31/2014 Thursday
The day of reckoning that everyone has been expecting finally arrived!
The YM and ES clearly broke their lower trend lines but the NQ is still within its channel...the RUT is re-visiting its BZ retrace level...
Very active trading and nothing but selling on all session charts...
07/30/2014 Wednesday
The FED spoke this afternoon and the economy is doing terrific of course...
Long legged doji spinners on the YM & ES while the NQ and RLM had less range...
Relatively active sessions again today...
8:00 AM Interesting over-night session action...RLM leading
Negative day on the YM and ES with long solid candles, the NQ was down slightly and the RLM ended positive...
A bit more active today judging by the tick sizes needed to show the sessions...
07/28/2014 Monday
Long tail penetrated the lower TL but the YM closed up for the session...
Long lower tails on the ES & NQ too, closing slightly positive...the RUT was down...
And the session charts showing the "V" day...
****Harami-like candlestick pairs on the YM & ES 'should' be the end of the down turn...The long tails also suggest a bottom..
9:00 AM Wednesday :(guessed right for a little while) But by the EOD Wednesday : (I was proved wrong...)
07/25/2014 Friday
Today's long red candle on the YM stopped at the lower trend line...the rest of the FUTs
were also down but not quite as much.
unchanged, the NQ up slightly and the RLM down slightly.
07/24/2014 Thursday
Giving back yesterday's gains but fairly uneventful with low volume...The session charts continuing down after the 4:15 pm pause...
07/23/2014 Wednesday
ES and NQ leading with closing ATHs on the dailies while the YM and RLM follow...here are the session charts...
07/22/2014 Tuesday
Up movement today gaining more than yesterday's selling with the YM, ES and NQ meeting or surpassing ATHs...
The RUT remains below the others but has broken it's down trend line.
And the session charts...
07/21/2014 Monday
A down day with long lower tails...for awhile there it looked like a negative stick sandwich was in the works...
Heavy morning selling reversed before lunch - "V" days are shown by the session charts for the FUTs...
07/18/2014 Friday...OEX
4:15 PM As if yesterday never happened - nothing but up all day...even the RUT participated...Daily charts...
Volume on Thursday's sell-off and Friday's recovery were well above the norms. Whether it indicates market froth
at the top or just position repositioning for a bull continuation is yet to be seen...
****Another down day like Thursday would create a negative "stick sandwich" suggesting a top...(I guessed wrong...)
Here's the session charts for Friday...
07/17/2014 Thursday
Relatively high volume wide ranging down day on the daily charts...BZ target drawn on the RUT...
Very active sessions through the close of the majors...and afterwards...(YM+ES) and the (NQ + RLM)...
07/16/2014 Wednesday
The YM still making new ATHs with the ES+NQ close behind...the RUT continues to close down...
Got a nice lunchtime reversal today which is a bit unusual...
Here's the session charts for the major markets open/close today...(YM+ES) and (NQ+RLM).
07/15/2014 Tuesday
Wide ranges on the dailies but going nowhere...Long legged spinner on the YM
at the close of the major markets...**** Candlestick speak for "that's all folks"...(I guessed wrong...missed by two days)
The RUT looks ragged here...
07/14/2014 Monday
Nice solid gains on low-ish volume on the dailies with the NQ and YM leading the charge...the RUT is still in a rut...
Session charts for Monday...%-wise the RLM is not showing it's usual 1 1/2 to 2x lead...
07/11/2014 Friday
An up day for all the FUTs except the RUT...the session charts for the week show YM & ES coming back strong
from Thursday's early morning sell-off with the NQ leading and the RUT not participating.
07/10/2014 Thursday
Wide ranges down for the session but recovered much of the over night selling...
The dailies printing long tails below their bodies...the YM with its largest range since early May...
Very active for the over night...
07/09/2014 Wednesday
The YM,ES and NQ rallied and got much of it back today but the RLM still hanging back...
The session charts show narrower, more 'normal' ranges...
07/08/2014 Tuesday
Another day with broad selling pressure...relatively active sessions too...
07/0807/07/2014 Monday
The session charts show mostly choppy ranges today...The dailies have the YM, ES and NQ stalling near their recent highs
while the RUT dropped like a stone...****the new leader?? (guessed right this time)
07/03/2014 Thursday
Nice moves up inspite of the shortened session ahead of Independence Day celebrations...
Looking at the dailies you'd be hard pressed to guess they were short sessions.
YM matching it's all-time high, ES busting it's upper wedge line and the NQ at the top of it's channel.
The RUT moving up, reversing yesterday's H&S reaction...Here's the price action the FUTs printed on the session...
07/02/2014 Wednesday
Narrow trendless chop on the session charts, except for the RLM which responded to the H&S from yesterday's session, trending down all day.
Tiny spinners on the daily charts...the YM holding above it's triangle...the RLM printed a longer bar, giving back 1/2 of yesterday's gain.
On the dailies, the ES and NQ are leading, hand in hand...kinda odd for the general market and the techs
to be doing this while the YM is lagging ...the RUT is still in catch up mode but moving fast...
****It looks as if the YM & ES wedges could turn into channels - they would need to break their
upper trend lines in the next few days or weeks.
JUNE 2014 ----------------------------------------
EOM Summary of statistics
06/30/2014 Monday
Daily set - Another set of spinners, narrower ranges but a replay of Friday & Thursday of last week...
06/27/2014 Friday
The YM and ES closed flat while the NQ and RLM moved up on the session.
****What a difference a day makes...
7:45 AM - Price is bearishly dropping out of the wedge, thru the trend line on the daily YM...for the third consecutive session...(I guessed wrong)
a consolidation triangle that will break in the direction of the longer term trend...following the leaders up.
4:10 PM - A little longer time frame makes the YM + ES look a little less bearish...Are the long tails on the last three
spinner doji stop sweeps (like earlier this month)?(guessed right this time)
The NQ + RLM had decent moves up today.
06/26/2014 Thursday
Fairly wide ranging 'V' session but closing flat...again a marked slowing of afternoon activity levels.
The daily FUTs showing long tailed doji on the YM and ES. The YM still closed above it's trend line.
Tails on the RLM and NQ too with the NQ closing up a little bit...Not much different from this afternoon's chart.
Mixed bullish and bearish FUTs daily patterns with Brach Zone retrace levels drawn...So Who's leading whom?
Do we continue to eat the bear or does the bear eat us?
**** I suspect the RUT will give us a heads up...errr...down...(I guessed wrong)
06/25/2014 Wednesday
Good trading opportunities taken in the RUT...Steady up trends for the day, closing mildly up.
Pace really slowed after lunch as the tightening vertical time lines illustrate (YM + RLM)...
Price held above the trend line on the daily YM...
It looks as if the YM is lagging again (still?) as the NQ leads with a strong candle; the ES and RLM post longer sticks too...
06/24/2014 Tuesday
Wide range with higher participation, started up then reversed at lunch and didn't recover...
The daily YM moved down to its up trend line which looks like support...

06/16/2014 Monday

06/13/2014 Friday
Volume in the Sept contracts zoomed up today...rolled my stuff to the forward month.
Narrow range, positive ADV/DEC with minor gains in the DOW and FUTs...
The ETF proxies ranged a bit more, closed up slightly...Harami on the DOW daily...
****(candlestick speak meaning the end of the short term down trend...or at least a pause...
(I guessed right) about the pause...and the end of the down trend
was confirmed on 7/01 by breaking out of a a consolidating triangle...
06/12/2014 Thursday
A second down day in a row, trending from the start...
Two sessions in the FUTS...

Had to increase all my chart's ticks/bar to get the entire FUTs sessions in...
Of the ETFs, the IWM had the greatest percentage move I've seen in quite a while...Daily DOW...
06/04/2014 Wednesday
The DOW was slightly up for the day while the ADV/DEC was neutral until the EOD.
This seems a little weird being that the FUTS sessions trended upwards all day...

The DOW and not surprisingly the YM reversed (ES+YM) after reaching measured moves...(NQ+RLM) moving in sync
but not near their recent highs.
On the daily, the YM got turned away at 16500 again. The ES is also flirting with its highs.
05/07/2014 Wednesday
'V' day with the DOW ending up and strong ADV/DEC negating yesterday's drop...played around with adding
a measured move set to the DOW, not expecting to reach it today...but you never know...
Session to session the big stocks (YM+ES) out-paced the smaller (NQ+RLM)...
The daily ETF charts show a disconnect between the big and smaller issues too.
06/26/2014 Thursday
Fairly wide ranging 'V' session but closing flat...again a marked slowing of afternoon activity levels.
The daily FUTs showing long tailed doji on the YM and ES. The YM still closed above it's trend line.
Tails on the RLM and NQ too with the NQ closing up a little bit...Not much different from this afternoon's chart.
Mixed bullish and bearish FUTs daily patterns with Brach Zone retrace levels drawn...So Who's leading whom?

March 2014 -----------------------------------
EOM summary of statistics
03/31/2014 Monday
Opening pop in the DOW, churning under 16500 resistance several times (15 min & 1 min charts) and developing
a bullish ascending triangle on the day...ADV/DEC was strongly positive all day...the watchlists
in the market proxies link below also reflect the positive breadth.
The 60 minute ETF charts as market proxies show the last few week's P/A with the bigger caps holding up
better than the NAZ and RUT...Daily FUTs charts...
03/28/2014 Friday
The markets popped on the open then retraced a lot of the gains...5 minute ETFs as FUTs proxies...
These two session chart sets show the NQ+RUT retracing into their BZs - greater retraces than the YM+ES...
showing the NAZ and RUT selling off much more of the Feb-Mar rally than the big caps...
03/27/2014 Thursday
ADV/DEC/DJI 1 minute...Quiet day, sideways chop minor changes relative to yesterday's sell-off...
5 minute ETFs telling the story...Here's the price action charts for the NQ , the ES and YM which printed
a perfect Triangle consolidation. If triangles are continuation patterns, the projection is for more down...
And the daily continuous contract charts are showing the NQ leading in that direction.
03/26/2014 Wednesday
I changed the linked charts a bit today...

as reflected via the 60 minute ETFs while the DOW stocks are trying to hold on to their gains...
And the 5 minute FUTs for the major market open/close and the EOD dailies...
Interesting - near perfect measured moves in the NQ & YM over the past two sessions.
03/24/2014 Monday morning addendum :
9:06 AM...Bull-ish over-night session on the slightly shorter time frame NQ chart...
9:44 AM...But sometimes the Bear eats you...
03/23/2014 Sunday night addendum :
There's histo divergence showing on the NQ...if a 3 wave down trend is
all we get, the NQ may be poised to lead a retrace of much of Friday's down move...
But if there's a 5 wave in the cards then all or more of last week's gain is at risk.
03/21/2014 Friday
The 5 minute charts describe the wide ranging down day...Interestingly the Advancing issues stayed fairly strong

January 2014 -----------------------------------
EOM summary of statistics
01/31/2014 Friday
ADV/DEC/DJI ... YM + ES gave back much of yesterday's gains while the NQ is hanging on to it's gain...
01/30/2014 Thursday
ADV/DEC/DJI ...Strong rebound across the board today but giving a lot back after the major market close...
Session to session 15 minute charts...Judging from the daily continuous contract charts the NQ was leading UP
through the end of 2013. Then the DOW took over leading DOWN...So Who's leading whom?
I can't tell whether the NQ is still leading up because it didn't drop as far as the others
(relative to the Fibonacci retracement percentages)...Or whether the DOW is still in charge...
