End Of Summer Tranquility

The next 3 weeks of trading will likely be filled with crowd emotions and manipulations surrounding the official news deadlines. I won’t be posting much because technical analysis and planned setups will likely not be valid for more than a few hours if not minutes. I will daytrade only and avoid holding overnight positions whatever happens.

Billy,

I don't recall ever seeing as much of a dichotomy in these two charts as occurred in the last hour today. Tick was very strong from 2 p.m. EST on, 20DMF was not and neither was price.

Any thoughts?

The price of IWM was strong on higher volume from yesterday. $TICK was clearly reflecting program buying of small cap baskets with most stocks not included in the 20 DMF.
Conclusion: There is rotation from large caps into small caps which is indicative both of good liquidity and of risk appetite.
