Wait.

They keep throwing shit against the barn door, and nothing is sticking. 

This morning we have another triangle break on the ES 24 hour S&P futures. This time it's to the downside, and so far, there's no follow through. I hold to the idea that nothing is likely to happen until the derelection is settled. That will take a while, apparently. 

For today, we start within a well defined 2 day downtrend channel. Upper line runs from 5829 to 5824 during regular trading hours. Lower line 5807 to 5802. No sign yet of a breakout, or which way.  Market Broke for Second Wind

Last week I wrote that, “I’m not interested in buys at this late stage of the cycle, especially in view of the warning signs in the liquidity measures.” So much for that. After reviewing the charts I decided to try and pick up a few nickels in front of the steamroller. I added 5 charts on the buy side. I liked one short. Non-subscribers click here for access.

9 picks were closed last week and I’ll remove 1 more as of Tuesday’s opening price. I am letting the rest of the existing picks ride, with added or adjusted stops in some cases.
