Featured Breadth Chart of the Day:
Here is that bearish divergence on the upside volume that we thought should have been taken care of yesterday. We need to watch again for today.
Comments and Levels for the Front ES (S&P500 – Emini futures) contract:
Short: 1814
Long: 1795
We are putting in a nice flag again from the last thrust. That consolidation ends for us at a break of 1808 which will look like a run higher to us and a break of 1798 which was tested on the close yesterday.
Our downside range of 1795 would scare us as a possible topping signal.
On the MiM:
Nice ride on the MiM yesterday but terrible trading on my part as I set an exit for a nice 1801 entry at 1798.50, which, while hit was not filled and I ended up stopping out –1.25 on a short trade that should have paid.
The MiM did warn us going into the reveal that the imbalances were being filled, so despite the size and direction, the drop down to 1798 was enough to bring in the buyers add to that the shorts covering into the close and up we went at the end of the day.
Another snapshot snafu which should be fixed today.

Comments about TLT (Twenty year Bond ETF):
That 104.25 was hit, we expect 104.50 to hold.
