20061117 Buyers stepped into lower levels to push the ES back up, to form a 'shooting star' candlestick pattern. A break below the low of today's pattern indicates a short trade for reversal. It is interesting how many commentators, news, TV stations etc are conjecturing on the stock market's rise, citing reasons such as soft landing, interest rate cut speculation. But all these are hype and noise. The reason for the stocks' rise are due to money flowing from the speculative funds that exited the commodities markets into the stock markets. E-mini S&P 500 chart

20061116 ES rosses and closes above 1400, a technically significant moment. So much for the "decline of epic proportions" touted by one floor trader on the CME after the Democratic sweep of both houses. E-mini S&P 500 chart

20061108 ES recovers from effects of Democrats win in US elections. Funny, one trader interviewed on Bloomberg TV was calling for a 'selloff of epic proportions'. Well he must have been heavily short, but he is obviously succumbing to emotions and anger or excitement at the 'paper profits' that he would have made on a 'epic selloff'. A look at the bigger picture, would reveal that the $ from Wall St were already flowing into Democrats' coffers a few months prior to today's elections, indicating the financial community support for the democrats, thereby precluding a 'epic selloff' on Republican loss.
