Good Wednesday morning!! 



Well there it was....they're back and the attack was swift and severe!!!!


As we said yesterday....


"You might not see them but they're there! Stalking and waiting in the woods to pounce. Let this be your warning."



The bears had to be patient as there was some early buying at the start of the trading session, especially in the NASDAQ, but once the selling pressure intensified in the afternoon, the buyers were cooked!



Now that being said, this two day down move still needs more confirmation so we all need to stay frosty...meaning stay alert for big swings in either direction!



And this morning is a clear example of that as we are having a repeat from last Friday. Overnight inventory was net short and bearish Friday morning, however when the NFP numbers came out, futures ripped higher. And today the same thing happened! Futures were in a tight consolidation, however, we just had the CPI (Consumer Price Index) results released and the futures ripped higher again! Almost an exact move just like Friday! Whoever was short in the morning sessions on both Friday and today, they got run over because of economic data reports! This is once again bringing buyers back in the market!



In the target levels and profile pic, please notice the NFP and CPI structure.....identical with the same rip higher. They bought the market on both events so now let's see if the buyers can take back the two day down move. We are already moving higher and are in the upper target ranges already so if the bulls move over 6080 then 6086, there could be a larger short squeeze higher!!!




The key line in the sand today is the POC @ 6063.50 and we are already above that level. If futures take out the POC to the downside back below 606350, then look for 6057 then 6053 then lower targets. Futures are trading @ 6072 at the time of this writing.





VPOC Update: No new VPOC's were added yesterday but now we have some downside VPOC's in the crosshairs.....and 6015 is the next closest below. We still have 1 above and 29 below current price.
