General Comments or Valuable Insight
I laid out the price action Friday before I left. Last night we came within 4 points of the Spu buy level while the Yen & Gold went to qtrly resistance.
Instruments are aligning at the levels we've highlighted for contra trend bounces.
We've seen the price action I laid out on Friday play out last night into this A.M. in London. I suggest you go back and re read what I wrote in Friday's Pro Tips.
The board is set up for a big 2 way trade into late week which will have investors looking for a trad able low in Googl and the Financials.
I'd rather buy the Equity Indices at these levels before I sell. Volumes are low and instruments are getting priced to levels.
It's still too soon to tell if last night was the low of this move, however it was an excellent low for a good bounce.
