The NYMO cycle is down and not far from the turn zone.
The last up cycle looked tired. It did not rise far above zero and it could not hold above the line.
So, the turn was advertised and not a surprise. However, yesterday's trip down the elevator shaft felt like a surprise.
More data as proof that I haven't got a clue what will happen.
That said, a corrective NYMO move toward the zero line would not surprise in the days ahead.
Pricewise, we got the mother of all gaps yesterday.
Pac Man munched his way through a bunch of down targets with plenty more below.
We now have two above. One can wonder when Pac Man will reverse to go get those...
We have a NYMO benchmark at SPX 3,205.37 that was left un-tagged from a prior cycle.
This piece of unfinished business just got taken care off as I write.
There is an open gap in the ES future at 3,175.50 on deck for closure.
It is just below the January 8th spike low, where some stops should be residing.
I am flat after a day trade that closed a few minutes ago.
Pursuant to my superstition that the market moves big when I am unavailable, I was in meetings much of the day yesterday.
My SPX long runner was closed Friday at BE. My R2K long was closed Sunday night at a loss. Undersizing it turned out OK.
I had a short setup on deck for Sunday, but it does not permit shorting into the hole. The gap and go left it on the sidelines.
So, I am left with shorter time frame setups for now.
