The futures were rallying without purpose and for no particular reason early Wednesday morning, achieving a so-far high just two ticks off a minor Hidden Pivot target at 1059.25 (60m chart, A=1037.50 on 8/31; B=1054.25, C=1042.50). That’s probably as far as DaBoyz will be able to manipulate this vehicle in off-hours trading, but if they manage to achieve slightly more — say, 1060.50 or higher — it would imply they’ve got something more brazen in mind for later.  Could they push this hoax all the way to 1080.25, turning the hourly chart bullish? Anything’s possible, of course, but you’d probably get better odds betting the Baltimore Orioles will capture a wild-card berth in the divisional playoffs. ______ UPDATE (12:10 p.m. EDT):  “GO, Orioles?!”
