ES 09-17 (10000 Tick)  8_22_2017B.jpg
Classic bounce to the 50% retracement of the last drop. I see a really skinny area on last week's volume profile up to the 76% level. Just a coincidence but the first drop this month was retraced to that level. Not forecasting a repeat but it certainly is setting up.

ES hit the 20 day ADR high 2448.25 and reversed. So, at least so far this is not an unusually big move day. Statistically the odds favor the high for day is in.

Classic gap and go trend day on SPY. "All bulls need is imagination" - Cobra

There's still too much liquidity, and competing instruments are still so paltry in their yields. It is hard to imagine where to put cash even if an equity manager wanted to raise cash levels. This adds to the resilience of the bull uptrend, which, even tho it's weakening, is still dangerous to short.

EOD, BPSPX renko and BPNDX renko came into the day still on late July SELL signals, as pointed out by Al D. in the Cobra weekend update. But the old bull still has some pop and snort in him.

ES really overshot the 20day ADR high , I was surprised by the strength. But the Small Caps TF futures didn't come close. So I am suspicious of what is going on. We have now had two days of crazy buying in oil because of some press release that later on (when human traders take over) gets reversed. So I see a day like today and wonder if the algos are behind this move in the S&P the way they were in oil. ES bounced twice at this level last Thursday morning and when it failed to hold it dropped the rest of the day. So today we failed to get above that level again, and we are in the correct range for the next wave down. I guess in a day or two we learn if this will be a five wave drop or if it was just an ABC correction before the next sequence up to higher highs propelled by the words of the Central Bankers later in the week. :)
