GS’s weekend note was interesting as they warned that the "VIX Is Unusually Low" and they saw “VIX calls as good value” [implying market down]…
BUT they suggested to wait until Tuesday’s close when the VXX shuts down for good (GS says the VXX ETN still has $700mm of AUM –assets under management - which will be cashed out at NAV at Tuesday’s close). This is a big deal, and GS said to expect some weirdness in the VIX space Tuesday, especially near the close.

JPM noted that this week “…will not only be the heaviest in terms of number of S&P500 companies reporting Q4 earnings, it will also see the peak of the current buyback blackout window. … in the week of Jan 29, roughly 60% of all companies will be prohibited from repurchasing their stock, a potential downside risk should a negative catalyst emerge [like the China trade deal/no deal].

Don't forget that the Pension funds had a good month in stocks so the smart guys are warning that many have exceeded their thresholds and will be forced to re-balance by month end. Poor Larry Kudlow may as well have a permanent podium in front of the White House!

IMHO any swing trade on the upside for the next few days is going to be risky, except scalping/day trading.
I've been a MOMENTUM trader over a decade & I only trade setups ranging from scalping, day or swing trading for living. My posts on here are ONLY FOR FUN & therefore not recommending anything to anyone. GLTA.
Let's see if ES is going to be put in a bottom ~2622.00 for today....

2630.50 which is so far so good. All signs suggest a little more room on the upside.

I'm done today. 2636.xx is where it will pull back a little bit and then more on the upside until market close? Too bad that I can't stay up longer to trade atm as I got to get up early tomorrow morning. It's 2:26am here. Good luck...

HAPPY HOUR
Abandoned Village of Castles, designed to draw foreigners (rich middle easterners) to Turkey. The developers filed for bankruptcy protection.
The architect hopes that the empty development will open by October 2019.
