[SuddenDeath]

[barjon]

FTSE 70pts above level implied by sp500 march

6741/1816.6

aye, ftse still trading strong - underwater atm, but still waiting to make it up to full positions when dow starts showing some decent action.

 

[SuddenDeath]

2hr candle looks bullish unless we break 425

people who short the dax are unwittingly members of a suicide cult

dax 9492

Well Nov/Dec showed a strong "disconnect" to the weak side, so maybe the latest strength is just compensating for that. Just goes to show that if you wait long enough the elastic band snaps back

 

[SuddenDeath]

when they can shift sp500mar at or above 1820 then we can look at bullish view

nearly there 1818.8

about 1826.8 cash.

futures +5.9 = cash

Cheap and not cheap is very subjective and changes the meaning with shock... till then lets continue the trading and focus on chart.... truth will be revealed in coming weeks or month!!!

Dax touched its closing level and ran away like a scalded cat.

when dow did plunge 180pts how many could believe ftse could be +15 ?

market goes to where few people expect

could ftse strength be shorts using it to cover/protect positions

From Larry Levin newsletter :
----------------------------------------
For most of the major US equity indices Monday’s plunge was the worst day since August 27th. All indices are now negative year-to-date as the outperforming Dow Transports were smacked over 1.8% from its intraday highs. NASDAQ once again touched green year-to-date early on in the day, then tumbled aggressively.

What was the catalyst for the aggressive sell off? We all now know that in the new bizzaro-world of the liquidity economy, good news is in fact bad news for the market. So Friday’s late ramp fest fak- out may have been the big money’s chance to exit on the **** poor employment data.

Because Monday we were assured that everything was okay by Atlanta Fed President Dennis Lockhart. Just before Lockhart’s proclamations came across the tape, stocks began to falter. And when we heard his rah-rah talk….

*LOCKHART SEES `GROWING CONFIDENCE' IN 2014 OUTLOOK

*LOCKHART SAYS U.S. ECONOMY ON `MORE SOLID' FOOTING

*LOCKHART BACKS $10 BLN TAPER AS CONFIDENCE IN 2014 GROWS

…the markets fell hard and fast. Whoops! So what did Lockhart have to say about his market moving talk during the follow up Q&A?

“One of the stupidest things a central banker could do is comment on the stock market.” But we all know you can’t expect a Fed mouthpiece to be rational because Lockahart proceeded to add, “The stock market is not a bubble in any way.”

This is just the kind of lunatic double speak we’ve grown accustom to from our friends at the Fed. Central planning with a side of crazy!

9500? Is also r1 daily and pierced bolly bands

Thought you y'all might like a look at a PnF chart of the Dax - it's a 3 x 3.33 reversal, so that every 3 Xs or Os equals 10pts.
