The futures have opened on an upward gap into the approximate middle of Friday’s gratuitous ups and downs. The move equates to a Dow rally of about 50 points, but the mood could change, as it frequently does, before Monday morning’s opening. Through it all, we shouldn’t fail to notice that the 1371.00 Hidden Pivot that I’d presumed would mark yet one more temporary peak has yet to be challenged.  Might it actually turn out to have been the Mother of All Bear Rally tops?  Since it’s counterproductive to speculate, we’ll focus on leveraging the possibility by seeking aggressively to get short.  Accordingly, I’ll recommend doing so at 1358.25, the ‘D’ target of the pattern shown, using a 1.00-point stop-loss. To make this gambit more interesting, and perhaps more profitable, we’ll also try to get long for the ride from the midpoint to the target.  As it happens, on the five-minute chart the midpoint lies between two peaks at, respectively, 1344.00 and 1346.00 that will be ideal for ‘camouflage’-equipped traders.  Simply follow the rules on this one, because it looks prospectively like a very high-confidence play. _____ UPDATE (10:26 a.m. EDT):  In the chat room and via e-mail, I’ve received reports from several subscribers who shorted the midpoint, so I’ll establish a tracking position for your guidance.  If you initiated the position on multilots, cover half now around 1336.00 and used 1352.00 as a profit-adjusted cost basis. A 1355.25 stop-loss is suggested until my minimum downside target for the near term is achieved: 1332.75.  Thereafter, a trailing stop suited to your temperament can be used.
