Buying Panic

We are seeing some buying panic this morning.  This buying rampage looks like a classic 2009 buying spree, but the technicals are worse than back then.  Can we repeat 2009 and act like nothing happened over the 3 weeks?  I doubt it, so I am holding my short. 
There is resistance at 1100 on ES, which held in premarket.  The buying in Europe is especially strong, which tells me that traders are no longer worried about European sovereign debt issues.

  1. Again, looking at the charts...there is a clear head and shoulders pattern. We might get a 1 day pullback, but this market is going higher. Maybe new year highs. Be careful with your shorts people.

  4. Anon,

    From what i have read a head and shoulders pattern is a bearish signal.

    I don't trade patterns but do acknowledge them. For example today we made a new high with less macd power.

    Bearish

  5. Yeah the longer the market can't break the 1100, the more shoulder we get with that head.

  6. I have kind of a bad feeling about being short here. It shouldn't be positive today yet it is, despite the weak euro.

  10. Owl, suppose we continue to move sideways for the rest of the day, and finish near resistance.
    What does that mean for the market ?
    Does it mean tomorrow has a better chance for the bears ?
    Thanks
