I have been sick the past couple days and was at an all day seminar yesterday, so I have been away from my analysis. Therefore, this analysis is admitedly after the fact.
Summary -
ESZ8 - As we mentioned in Monday's homework, the move we saw was a compression of the previous down move (11/5 and 11/6 gave two big down moves. 12/1 gave us one very large down move). Based on 11/7, there was a ~32 point up day. Well, Tuesday 12/2 gave us a ~32 up day. Amazing!
Based on 11/10, we retraced to somewhere between 50% and 61.8% of the initial fall, then fell once again. Today 12/3, the 61.8% retracement of Monday puts us right at 865, which is a level that has proved important many times in the past. The market rallied to 864.75 and fell 30+ points to 833.75! So, the first half of today completed the mirror of 11/10. (See fib retracements on the two bars) Then the second half of the day...
I was expecting a small rally, perhaps to 849, then new lows (thus beginning to mirror 11/11). Instead, we got a rally all the way up to 873.75! Can't always be right. However, 870-75 was our decending trend line (green line). Having guts would make you sell that 870 area and hold it into the overnight trading, as I am expecting this line to hold and mark a location to sell tomorrow (Otherwise, the ascending trendline above at 878-880... or the less likely 897 area (big red line)).
