The Year Of The News Bomb

In my post on Monday 10th Feb I was looking at the bull flag setups on SPX and QQQ and the historically bullish lean through Tuesday 18th Feb and was projecting that we might well see retests of the all time highs on SPX and QQQ in that bullish window. We saw those all time high retests on QQQ on Friday 14th Feb and on SPX on Tuesday 18th Feb.

In my post on Wednesday 19th Feb I was looking at the very nice looking topping setups on SPX, QQQ and DIA and the historically bearish lean through Friday 28th Feb and suggesting that, if these patterns were going to deliver, then this bearish window would be a good time to get started on that.

So here we are, with that bearish window ending at the close tomorrow, with the stats for tomorrow leaning strongly bearish on SPX at 28.6% green closes historically.

But I’m just a one-person company. Why wouldn’t a person with hundreds of thousands of employees know the same wisdom?
