Open the doors $ES_F 1862 x 1891
Featured Breadth Chart of the Day
New highs are not there, we only did 81. I think we continue to bleed out momentum to what is already a sluggish market that is biased to drift higher. We think some lower level testing might make more sense from here.
Quote of the Day:

Comments and Levels for the Front (S&P 500 – E-mini futures) contract:
Short: 1891
Long: 1862
Here’s my deal. The super trading range is 1913 x 1841… I expect us to stay in that box for a while. For today, 1891 looks to be a reasonable spot to look for a drop. I don’t really have a long spot, maybe 1880. The breadth and A/D line are flailing and bull markets need leadership and leadership is usually revealed at lower prices. We still favor the downside.
On the MiM:
Nothing on the MiM as we had a decently volatile close, but the MiM was all over the place and never really triggered one way or another and it left me sidelined watching the give and take.

Comments about TLT (Twenty year Bond ETF):
Wrong way TLT… Looing for 114 now on the upside.. One of these markets (either equities or bonds) is not going to sustain.
