As was the case last night, I have an in-town guest with whom I’ll be meeting all afternoon and evening, so I’m just going to toss out a post with some short ideas (not that there are actually any bears left…………but it provides a good giggle or two).

ES has formed a rough falling channel that looks bullish as long as it doesn’t break downwards, and the next move due within the channel is up into the low 1760s.
