So I cashed out my position for a net of $8000. Trends call for a bounce back upwards to acquire some new trend action to take us lower, especially as we violated just about everything on the way down here. I am not ready to go into a Long position for that upward movement at this time however, because there was just too much downward pressure to bring us down here. We have however violated every trend between the 1hr to the 12hr, have a Daily downtrend that is teasing showing up today, and are oversold on the only downtrend that took us here, the 30m.
The Daily won't signal a downtrend unless we stay below like 4715 by the close.
Economic Data; We got strong payroll and wage data, and a lowered unemployment number. All of this signals that the FOMC may not be able to cut rates early this year as expected. That data caused an initial negative reaction, which has since reversed and taken us back up to neutral on the day.
My position from 4700 is; Shorter Term - Neutral/Bullish Short Term - Neutral/Bullish Medium Term - Neutral/Bullish Long Term - Bullish
Still keeping an eye on ZS contracts, as well as several currency contracts.
