This, still, looks down, to me. Last time, I saw a right shoulder on the 3 min. Now I can see a potential right shoulder on the 30M.

I'm trying another short trade, here, 2854.4

If it had been Barça against MC, the final score would have been higher.

It was a great game. though, although I don't back either

 

[chinabean]

Me too, for my sins I support spurs!

Was loving Mancini getting all hot and bothered about Joe Hart post-match as well hahaha!!!

Anyway, i'm off to bed, hope the markets treat you all well today.

 

[robster970]

No sign of Kimo, I'm sure he'd have something to say about all this ManC baiting...

Be interesting to see, if the move in Asia overnight is the beginning of a correction. Was thinking about the dow & s&p post QE2, if memory serves me correctly, in the month following it fell 4-5 % after the initial move up before bouncing, ending the month pretty much unchanged and then continuing the longer term rally.

I was just looking at this with ES volume traded by European open a lot higher than normal - it was 52k contracts by 7am. I'm sensing a down day today - this kind of early volume is pre-cursor to a trend day IME especially as Asia and now European open are trading well out side of yesterday's RTH range.

Not sure how the markets gonna take these spanish bond results. Auction yields definitely lower but that was always gonna be the case...... reckon the result isn't enough to change negative sentiment today......

 

[Splitlink]

I've drawn in a support zone between 2848 and 2843 (USTech) and opened a long trade at 2850. I have doubts about the 3 point spread but have traded OOH, before, with mixed results.

Nearly went fishing

Mine was not a good idea. I closed with +1.5 which was not bad considering the spread. With Europe not looking bright, this morning, I'll wait for the open.

 

[chinabean]

Defo be careful buying it up here. The US figures this afternoon could provide some support but if they disappoint, we could sell a decent sell-off today followed by a few days of grinding lower. I mean the Chinese PMI wasn't great, the European PMI's were terrible, if 2 out of US PMI, Ph Fed or Ini Jbless are bad or 1 is very bad, I'd be surprised if we weren't finishing down 1%.....probably more...

 

[Pat494]

Stopped out my long by 0.1 pt ! at 2.30 !! and then would have been in profit by 2.33 pm



knew I should have gone fishing.
