Banks were the only group yesterday (on my narrow watch) that held just a bit; today they are quite weak.
PAGING INTRADAY SCALPERS ONLY (not now; for reference later)
How can u tell when candlesticks indicate short-covering?
Here is a zoom of the 5min chart of yesterday’s SPY, noon to the close.

[Caveat: it’s not always so clear, especially on broad SPY, and it can be softer and peter-out sooner, or it can be MUCH faster and MUCH more violent. Every squeeze is unique. If you happen to be on the wrong side of what appears to be a squeeze…. exit immediately and ask questions later….sometimes you will find that you have exited too early…….….so what?]
