“…maybe not today but soon and for the rest of your life…” [Rick to Ilsa]

QQQ approaches “knock three times,” where odds favor a breakout
(we need better than 170.95, the ATH from 1/26)
If Q can do it, it will be the first of the majors to NEW HIGH
But it must be sticky. No traps.

Bloomberg believes the small-caps outperformance is because they have less exposure to international markets, hence less impact of pending tariffs

So if you don’t trade futures let me do the math for you. 32 contracts at $50 per point means $1,600 per point, so if it gets to 42 he will be up $23,600.

It is always interesting to watch a heavy hitter roll.
How do you know he trades 32 contracts, TWC?

Sorry, he uses a short form notation. His last comment " long now at 2727.25 x 32. ".
Over the years, and earlier this week, he has posted his brokerage statement. He has also commented that in the past when he traded for a big firm it was 100 contracts at a time. So he has had years to develop what are to me nerves of steel. I could not handle watching today's little ripples if I knew each one was $20,000.

Anyway he posts his wave counts and then he trades them which makes him a very rare bird in wave counting.

Yes, but now being sold as "more ceremonial". Biggest issue for Wall Street in this mess is who replaces Cohen. Media saying it looks like the anti-globalist pro tariff crowd are maneuvering for the position.

I think the marginal players in oil are the hedge funds, or more accurately managed commodity accounts. Leverage off is leverage off, but there are so many cross currents in bonds and currencies that I don't think it shows as much. In Equities you really see it in tech with all those hedge fund hotel stocks, most of which are headquartered in California which is why that is such a great term.

So oil is stalling after a multi-month run up. Inventory numbers are less incitefull as it is the end of a cold winter and the producers are all dumping winter blend and starting the rolling switch to summer. Thrown in expanding shale production, expanding exports to China, the rapid changes in the middle east and it just may make sense to take profits and wait for things to shake out.

30,000 tick ES
30,000 tick ES
This is a fake 15 minute chart. The 30,000 tick bars have been close to the 15 minute daily count. This is a new style for me where you don't have forced equidistant bar spacing. I think it gives a better read on overnight action. I added overnight and opening range so it would be clear when regular trading hours were, and of course with the futures roll that is messed up today.

I think it is very clear that a good number tomorrow and we could easily blow past this range on the way up. For today 2750 was the upside target.

Bad number tomorrow and that POC for the entire selloff at 2720 would be the first obvious rest then easily back to the double digit at 2700 and a retest of the 2650 ish low is on for next week. Or maybe we get nothing and this thing just continues to coil in the range.
