Overnight high ES 2672.25. Yesterday's close 2670, Opening hour high 2668.25, where will this up move stall out, all three look good to me.

Morning low at S1 pivot instead of two points lower at the 7 30 AM low must mean something about who is in control. No such tells to the upside as we are in such a tight little range waiting for the (insert favorite nick name for the POTUS) 2 PM Eastern presser.

I may go pull some more weeds for a while. ;)

10 minutes later and we are still stuck at the 1 hour Opening Range high. This market is looking pretty pathetic right now.

Then expect the market to flush if Trump comes out of the deal because it will create great uncertainty for a long time for the following reasons:
1) What is the path forward?
2) How will Iran react?
3) How will Iran's allies react?
4) Will Israel now have the green light to attack the Iran nuclear sites - specifically the Natanz facility?
5) North Korea can totally reverse the "good" face it has been trying to put on lately.
6) What to make the the Trump-Kim Jong-un Summit? Will it even take place after that?
...

Just too many unknowns to be a calm bull. Get ready for a wild ride because the market is about to get very volatile?

WAG - non event.. Deal will be scrapped,(bad cop) but oil will flow without sanctions,(good cop) and Trump will say we will work to a better deal for the Iranian people, market tanks on /CL's drop.
overal calmness. The real story is in Europe, and the EURO and Europe banks, imo .. MInd that mighty DXY USdollar ;)

Ugg, now we wait on the VWAP support. Which classic movie was it where they got the old famous actor to appear by giving him a really great death scene?

Promised upgrade to my software will include their version of those great Bookmap charts where you can really see the market action (in Futures). I am guessing would be helpful on a day like this! :)

believe best shot for bears will be around the 2700 level when bulls might pile in a bit, and if its a fake break, otherwise after new highs, darn bear moves short lived of late...

I am thinking there is the ARAMCO IPO that needs to be primed. Saudis want oil a bit higher, at some point. Bit o Conflict with Ira helps.

88 dollars a barrel is the widely reported magic number for Prince Give Me Your Money and his IPO. :)

fehro,
you are looking at reality, I am talking about the Unicorn number the Saudi's need to fund the grand plan. Trump needs 40 oil if people are to actually have any benefit from tax cuts before the November elections. Hedge funds are not adding to their longs, so you know they are nervous.
