[10:04] {+cc_9} SPY still no direction
[10:04] {+cc_9} needs 169.70 for slight bounce
[10:05] {+cc_9} top for intraday 167.40 from earlier

[10:21] {robbers} Out CAT, thanks Vad.
01[10:21] {&Threei} 1:3, out
01[10:21] {&Threei} yw
[10:23] {+cc_9} come on SPY, just $0.50 more thats all...

[10:29] {+cc_9} .70s first little wall on SPY
[10:30] {dino} ugaz spike
[10:33] {+cc_9} anyone here goes on LiveLeak for actual reality that media won't show ?
[10:33] {+cc_9} some stuff out of Egypt yesterday on LiveLeak looks very similar to Syria
[10:33] {+cc_9} Gov using snipers and police in civilian gear and saying they are the opposition, nuts
[10:34] {nemo} SOP Hitler did it to start the invasion of Poland
[10:34] {nemo} Israel did it to start the 7 day war
[10:34] {nemo} We did it to start the Vietnam war
[10:35] {+cc_9} I wonder how long before the MB gets its first shipment of arms from Libya, the light weapons walmart of north Africa.
[10:39] {RonS} ...does this guy have a clue?...President Obama calls on protesters to act peacefully, says authorities should respect right of peaceful protest
[10:39] {+cc_9} send them tanks, tell them to be peaceful
[10:40] {nemo} of course he does the sheep need to hold still so they can be shot
01[10:40] {&Threei} he does now: "hey, this gives me a clue, maybe ousting Mubarak wasn't such a good idea..."
[10:41] {+cc_9} Mubarak is still in power
[10:42] {+cc_9} calling the shots from his club med joint
[10:42] {nemo} frickin' tsla
[10:42] {+cc_9} What most people don't realize is that Egypt's military controls all subsidies : food, heating gas, petrol etc...
01[10:42] {&Threei} out of a few tin dictators of the region he pushed out the one who kept relative order and peace, and left well alone those who instill chaos and provoke war
01[10:46] {&Threei} Short Setup: GDX .30 break
01[10:46] {&Threei} If holds .40
01[10:47] {&Threei} President Obama announces cancellation of upcoming 'Bright Star' joint US-Egyptian military exercise
01[10:47] {&Threei} up to this point it was a go, eh?
[10:47] {nemo} optics
[10:48] {+cc_9} They need more Killdozer joint exercise
[10:49] {+cc_9} I know this is far fetched, but at one point, Egypt might contemplate leasing the pyramids...Suez can't pay for it all
[10:49] {+cc_9} Saudi can pressure Qatar to cut its loans to Egypt
[10:50] {nemo} pyramids were a Jewish plot
[10:51] {RonS} lol
01[10:51] {&Threei} no go... too bad, looked very tempting and started out nicely
[10:57] {+cc_9} SPY going for another test
[10:57] {nemo} huge frickin' volume spike XLF
[10:58] {+cc_9} see it
[10:59] {+cc_9} SPY dodged the LOD bullet for now

[11:13] {+cc_9} giddy up
[11:14] {+cc_9} 166.75 wall test as expected.
[11:14] {nemo} vwap and price resistance
01[11:14] {&Threei} giddy down?
[11:14] {+cc_9} No, it was a wall test, it gets through it, volume is there
01[11:17] {&Threei} yeah, giddy up
[11:17] {+cc_9} SPY levels that I have for today : http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/9199/wjmf.jpg
01[11:17] {&Threei} thern there probably is giddy sideways...
[11:18] {+cc_9} id like to first get the giddy up to 167 then the giddy sideways
[11:19] {+cc_9} @ wall, needs to crack. Vol still behind it...for 11:20AM, its half decent
[11:19] {dino} de hl l .01

[12:11] {RonS} lol...but how do you really feel?...
[12:12] {nemo} well, you might find it a bit extreme if I said I wanted to wipe their genetic seed from the earth
[12:14] {+cc_9} If anyone checked out the SPY Chart I posted @ 11:17, here is the updated one : http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/8079/gkh7.jpg

[13:02] {RonS} slw 86 day high
[13:05] {+cc_9} SPY 167 multiple tests, great wall
[13:06] {+cc_9} looking for .30 - .40 range as support now
[13:06] {nemo} this does not look auspicious for spy
[13:09] {+cc_9} DUST { $50.00
[13:09] {+cc_9} putain de bordel
[13:09] {RonS} holy indicator remains weak...IBM

[13:12] {dino} aegr sm l ave .13
[13:13] {+cc_9} indexes nearing session lows
[13:13] {+cc_9} This loks like some serious liquidation
[13:13] {nemo} get ready to throw the women and children overboard
[13:13] {nemo} sharks gotta' eat too
[13:14] {+cc_9} .30 so far holding SPY
[13:14] {nemo} some serious volume coming in
[13:15] {+cc_9} .20 last intraday support, below that its a toilet flush
[13:17] {+cc_9} SPY ~ triple intraday bottom for now, confirmation is above 166.70
[13:18] {+cc_9} not a full day for 1:20PM
[13:19] {+cc_9} I have a feeling we're about to see a wild print, either a stop eater sub 166.20 or a fast push to reverse the trend
[13:19] {+cc_9} volume picking up still
[13:20] {nemo} oh the melodrama
[13:22] {+cc_9} DIA already hitting fresh lows
[13:22] {+cc_9} IWM few cents shy, SPY fighting for that 166.20
[13:25] {dino} spy gap 165.20
[13:25] {nemo} yeah, but I would expect a bounce off the whole today
[13:27] {+cc_9} thats what I thought yesterday too, before we had a that nose dive and crash after hours
[13:27] {nemo} what time it crash?
[13:27] {+cc_9} but yes today looks like slight "capitulation" from yesterday, bounce is over due. Nothing crazy, at best 167.50
[13:28] {+cc_9} SPY went down another $0.30 after hours yesterday
[13:29] {+cc_9} IWM @ LOD, spy still hanging
[13:29] {dino} need another % imo, dji only down 2.5%, s/p 2.3%. usually 3.5% then bounce
[13:29] {nemo} monthly pivot iwm 102.04
[13:34] {RonS} nemo re retweet by northman: because they have re-defined it into oblivion...
[13:34] {nemo} yep
[13:35] {nemo} I guess food and fuel don't count not to mention if you can't afford steak, you'll buy hamburg. If you can't afford hamburg, you'll buy dog food
[13:35] {dino} hmmm, was thinking hotdogs
[13:35] {nemo} so, that type of substitution is not considered in inflation
[13:35] {nemo} I wouldn't feed my dog hotdogs
[13:36] {nemo} .65-.74 key area for spy
[13:36] {dino} funny thing, my dog will not eat bologna
[13:36] {nemo} I can confirm rabbits LOVE raisins
[13:42] {+cc_9} SPY the suspense is getting lame
[13:43] {nemo} gdx at amptjer ga[
[13:43] {nemo} another gap
[13:45] {+cc_9} SPY trying, IWm slight lag, should get a delayed push
[13:47] {nemo} oh bummmer...the keyboardist from the Blue Oyster Cult died
[13:48] {+cc_9} GDX up 5 days out of the past 6...impressive.
[13:48] {nemo} 35% off the bottom
[13:51] {dino} aegr stop
[13:54] {+cc_9} GDX getting close to its daily resistance
01[13:54] {&Threei} Short Setup: GDX .10 break
01[13:54] {&Threei} If holds .20
[13:55] {nemo} that's a ballsy call
01[13:57] {&Threei} 1:1
[13:59] {+cc_9} IWM poking its head out ahead of SPY, first time today
[14:08] {nemo} oh boy
[14:15] {nemo} gap hell...release the hounds of war!!!!
[14:30] {+cc_9} SPY stop eater triggered, back to near 166.70
[14:39] {nemo} pretty good spy volume today
01[14:40] {&Threei} yup, picks up
01[14:40] {&Threei} 9% above 3-months ave
01[14:40] {&Threei} no wonfer we get 4 1:3ers
01[14:40] {&Threei} wonder either
01[14:40] {&Threei} and one of them actually went to 1:12
[14:41] {+cc_9} anyone dare to call the SPY close ?
[14:42] {+cc_9} we're about to test that 166.70 once again
[14:42] {nemo} red
[14:42] {+cc_9} I was thinking more along the lines of spy closes @ xxx.xx
[14:42] {nemo} one would think they would want to try and close it above 167 at a minimum
[14:44] {+cc_9} IWM trying
[14:47] {+cc_9} 166.70 denied again on SPY
[14:48] {nemo} rejection at vwap not good from an institutional point of view
[14:49] {+cc_9} PHM wowza
[14:58] {+cc_9} TOL nonstop since 10:00AM data
[14:59] {nemo} interesting, algo only has stocks on green side yet indexes not moving
[15:00] {nemo} spy volume
[15:00] {nemo} oops guess it was a mistake
[15:07] {+cc_9} another I-H&S on 5min SPY starting from 12:30PM
[15:10] {+cc_9} on triple digit down days, we tend to bounce around this time, especially coming from a sell-off yesterday. Mixed signals on various timeframes, can't read it other than watch the trendlines set on the SPY chart.
[15:11] {nemo} one would expect short covering, but this this range since 10:00 may have covered it
[15:12] {nemo} look at finnies iwm and spy, last assault on vwap unsuccessful
[15:12] {+cc_9} Back to the 166.20 test on SPY, IWM failing faster
[15:13] {nemo} H&S on spy if you look from 10:00 am on
[15:13] {nemo} this spy low here monthly pivot to the penny
[15:14] {nemo} xlf volume spikes
[15:15] {nemo} Here's a clean chart: https://twitter.com/newsagg/status/368088547330244608/photo/1
[15:15] {nemo} wtf
[15:15] {+cc_9} bunch of nonsense
[15:16] {nemo} my eyes can't take it
[15:16] {nemo} Vad's an Ichimoku groupie
[15:16] {nemo} kinda' good thing he can't reach me
[15:18] {+cc_9} LODs starting to flash
[15:18] {nemo} lo ticker's moving
[15:19] {+cc_9} SPY big candle about to form on the 5min
[15:19] {+cc_9} wick to wick should be about $0.25
01[15:20] {&Threei} chart where you can't at once see what line is the price should be destriyed and its author culled
[15:20] {+cc_9} LOD stop eater algo on standby
[15:20] {+cc_9} VXX @ highs
[15:20] {nemo} think they save that spy gap for another day
[15:21] {+cc_9} SPY testing 166.20 for the 5th time today
[15:21] {nemo} like a Thai hooker with ghonnorhea
[15:21] {nemo} mmmhhh, where'd that come from?
[15:21] {+cc_9} highest volume bar on 5min SPY since 2:10PM
[15:22] {nemo} look xlf
[15:22] {dino} speaking of hookers, look at the spread on regn, .40
[15:22] {nemo} well, if the proverbial short covering is going to commence
[15:22] {nemo} clap...
[15:22] {nemo} I can't....
[15:22] {nemo} tight, huh?
[15:23] {nemo} pretty good battle here on spy
[15:23] {+cc_9} massive volume SPY = 0 action
[15:23] {+cc_9} cant even clear .40
[15:24] {+cc_9} get that order flow, get the suckers, buy the dip, etc....
[15:24] {nemo} oh oh
[15:24] {+cc_9} aaaaaaand headfake
[15:24] {nemo} slammed that right back down
[15:25] {nemo} might be trying to shake the longs before it goes
[15:25] {+cc_9} already shook them 4 times
[15:26] {nemo} yeah, was thinking the short covering meme
[15:26] {+cc_9} and those who bot the close yesterday for a reversal, well, still in
[15:26] {+cc_9} unless they hit the bids on that 10AM capitulation
[15:26] {nemo} an inverted hammmer, then a doji, what now
[15:27] {+cc_9} we should be ripping 50 points fast either direction, not this bs wash trading
01[15:28] {&Threei} Short Setup: GDX .10 break
[15:28] {nemo} woulda' shoulda' coulda' now we should start hearing about the prom queen
01[15:28] {&Threei} If holds .20
[15:29] {+cc_9} up 3 cents, down 2
[15:29] {+cc_9} fun
[15:29] {nemo} yep was the shakeout, .45 next level
[15:30] {+cc_9} Paulson told investors last month to hold gold, this month he dumped 50% his position
[15:30] {RonS} ...shocked there is gambling in this establishment
[15:30] {+cc_9} IWM major lag
[15:30] {+cc_9} it actually just downticked while the SPY just pushed near .50
[15:31] {+cc_9} what a dog
[15:31] {nemo} Of all the gin joints
[15:31] {+cc_9} IWM volume spike on 5min
[15:32] {+cc_9} unreal...SPY prints near 166.50, IWM downticks
[15:32] {nemo} spy dropped the .45 this isn't looking good...cut up the women and children for chum
[15:32] {+cc_9} Even the DIA and the Qs upticked along, more pressure on the small caps
[15:33] {nemo} use your shift key
[15:33] {nemo} I can hear Vad now, "Oh Nemo, wtf..."
[15:34] {+cc_9} IWM @ LOD
[15:37] {nemo} is today op ex Thursday?
[15:37] {RonS} could call it that...
[15:38] {nemo} great TweetOfGod
[15:38] {dino} yes
[15:38] {nemo} the tweet?
[15:39] {+cc_9} Once again, all the move will be during the last 2 minutes, another EOD trap
[15:39] {+cc_9} lame...really lame
[15:40] {+cc_9} IWM fresh lows SPY $0.20 off
[15:41] {Alexs} Are you in GDX trade Vad?
01[15:41] {&Threei} yes
01[15:41] {&Threei} should have partialed near 30 but missed it
01[15:43] {&Threei} half out
01[15:43] {&Threei} stop .11
[15:44] {+cc_9} bottom to top of candle SPY in last 30 minutes ? $0.10
[15:44] {+cc_9} if this was all the bounce, its pathetic
[15:45] {+cc_9} anything sub 167.40 is a pathetic close
01[15:45] {&Threei} the best day in the whole summer I think
[15:46] {Alexs} No best day was 7/31
[15:46] {nemo} 167 cc?
01[15:46] {&Threei} ok... second best
[15:46] {Alexs} lol
[15:47] {+cc_9} 167.40 was pre-market range nemo
[15:47] {+cc_9} for a reversal, needs at least a close @ or above 167.40
[15:48] {+cc_9} we were unable to get/stay above 166.70 since 1PM. All we had was a $0.50 range with both top and bottom testing twice
01[15:50] {&Threei} ok guys, thank you all
01[15:50] {&Threei} have a great evening, see you tomorrow
