This week, the stock indexes are fighting against any additional pullbacks, which at this point, would be normal, natural, and healthy and overdue. The rally off the lows was further fueled by the idea of the end of QT and more QE from a Jay Powell Q&A. Selling came in at the end of the day as the Nasdaq 100 futures failed to trade above 25,000.
We had a nice gain on V-Reversal long early. The market continued to rally and generate another long again that was stopped out in the afternoon sell off.
I thought it was the type of day that should have trended down below Friday's lows initially. The concept of price distortion and liquidity flows are eager on every small dip.
