The market needs to bust through these 200 day moving averages to get everyone bullish again.
I haven't traded in weeks, still waiting to short. The last time we were up here I was sure we would see 1127 in the e-minis, we went straight down instead. Now I am even more sure we go higher first, so maybe now we go down even faster...
Right now I don't have a strong opinion. Like I said, looking at my indicators the market should rise but looking at fundamentals it should fall. Hence, the reason I want to go to cash by the end of the week. If I gain confidence one way or the other I will post.
JD, I remember that last time, that was when I went all-in short. You thought we'd hit 1127, I thought 1127 was the absolute highest it could go and so it was safe to short from 1105 (minimal risk at only 2%).
The ECB buying of long-dated bonds, providing some cash to European banks, is a plus for the bulls now, but I went short this morning for a one-day trade (looking for a brief retracement of the recent advance tomorrow, back to the 1080s) and planning to go permanently short on Thursday.

Aapl always runs up in advance of their earnings. I would not be surprised to see it top 275 before earnings in July.

Tsachy, great call on the market. You called the bottom last week and this weeks move higher.
I know you said continued strength into options exp.
