I just covered my shorts. Market may rally into the close b/c options max pain is generally much higher than current prices. Looks like the day might turn out just as Cobra said it would...again
Actually I dont think the IHS is valid because that is an SPY chart and SPY had a dividend today which throws everything off. If you look at the SPX it is not a IHS.

Something I find helpful is to use a continuous ES chart with a 30, 45, and 60 minute bars. We have had 3 sets of higher lows and higher highs since 8:15 am Thursday morning. As long as we don't get a close below (and likely a trade below 1259, the trend should be up). I also use a 60 period RSI and 150 period Williams % R on these charts...and that can tell you when things are turning up or down. Currently we are in a downtrend from 9:30 am this morning, but any up bar in the next hour (2:30 est) will signal a trend change...basically an hourly close above 1266 on the ES for the next hour. But then it must trade up into the end of the day. For now a downtrend though
Per what I posted previously their is a cherry pick long as of 2:00 EST...but it needs to go up now and can't trade below the low of the day. Really need this above 1266 by 2:30 for confirmation, but then it has to hold the low of the day. Really should wait until 2:30 for confirmation.
