ESZ14 – Dec E-Mini S&P (Last:1897.50)

The market has gone ornery and untradable on us, presumably because everyone and his mother is going at it with the same idea of getting short. Although yesterday’s forecast here got the trend right and even nailed the intraday high, 1902.50, to the exact tick, the prediction was valueless for trading purposes. That’s because the ratcheting, exceedingly tedious rally generated a string of minor corrections that were equal to or greater than each subsequent leg up. Not exactly the risk:reward proposition we are looking for.  I proffered a still higher target at 1911.00 if 1902.50 was exceeded, which it has been in after-hours trading.  Night owls can use their own judgment to determine how to catch the implied ride north, but I wouldn’t look for easy pickings if there’s still a few points left in the move at Tuesday’s opening bell.
