We’ll soon learn whether a relatively quiet and news-less weekend — Ebola aside — has quelled the short-covering fever that gripped the last two sessions. The futures appeared bound for the 1902.50 target shown when the closing bell imposed a recess on a possible bear market’s first short squeeze attempt worthy of the name. A breach of the target would necessitate sliding our abc coordinates north in order to project a new one at 1911.00. Night owls may have the best opportunity to board the implied rally with risk tightly under control, but thereafter a tightly stopped short from 1911.00 would probably be less risky than one from 1902.50.
