Pasta Boss, are you using the VWAP as the stop loss line?

Stop was the HIGHER LOWS in the 70.70 range
Very close to VWAP
Raised stop to the breakout in the 71.20 range [edit: where your blue line is]. I know it’s too tight, but there you are
I DO NOT like this double top nonsense. I don’t want it to correct much
(A few cents is a steak dinner)
IMHO
FWIW

Is the bond market still sick today? Thinking risk parity funds reducing leverage as there is a clear headwind.

That was my first stop too, didn't want noise to knock me out. I moved up to 70.90. Probably need to move up to your point shortly....
Thanks, great info!!

Speaking of corrections both the wave counters I follow are saying intermediate top could be in. One more negative, but both thinking a final higher high is possible. In other words intermediate top already is possible but not for sure yet.

on another note...

Block of DOOM puts buyer in Barclays suggests 30day hedgeBlock of DOOM puts buyer in Barclays suggests 30day hedge. Shares $10.85 with a notable purchase of 20K Jan 7 puts on the Amex at midday, opening a new position expiring in 30days struck nearly 36% below current spot. While Barclays shares have sat out the rally in most other financials this year, they have not seen the $6 handle since Brexit in June 2016.

Ah, but as a wise man is fond of saying, "all bulls need is imagination".

Santa Claus time is not usually the time for bears to dream.

Actually, according to Hirsh and STA the Santa Claus rally is just the last days of December, and not the whole month. The best is yet ahead! (on average, historically)
