One fleeting, hysterical short-squeeze at a time, the futures are working their way toward the 1439.50 rally target first broached here a while back. Getting long will understandably be a bitch; but short, maybe not so difficult. Notice that, for all the hubris and hoopla surrounding these rallies, they are actually enslaved to the cosmic order from which Hidden Pivots are derived. In that regard, see for yourself how yesterday’s rally precisely achieved the 1411.75 target of the pattern shown — not one tick more, nor one tick less. Rather be a trader than a lurker?

With a 1439.50 rally target theoretically still in play, your trading bias should be bullish at the moment. That said, camouflageurs should take extra care getting long at these levels, since the lesser charts are impulsively bearish. The thumbnail chart shows three ‘external’ peaks from just above which a ‘B-C’ pullback would be enticing. The camo pattern in progress when this chart was created looked too tired to use.

An amusing coincidence: I was posting to the Rick’s Picks forum a moment ago about how exchange trading has come to resemble a sleazy carnival operation, and lo, the E-Mini S&Ps have shot up six points in mere seconds. This was an after-hours move – the best time to stage these heists, since there is little legitimate buying or selling to get in the way of the perpetrators. I don’t wish to insult carny operators by comparing them to exchange dealers and market makers, by the way, since the guys and gals who work the midway at least come face to face with the rubes they are ripping off. Not in the world of electronic trading, though. The pros who are doing the fleecing operate under a veil of secrecy that can be lifted only by securities regulators or the FBI. » Read the full article
