“Inch by inch, anything’s a cinch.”

Well the Boyz pulled off a somewhat rare no rotation move in Fed Up day.

No surprise that traders who missed the idea of higher highs and lows got squeezed or taken out by End of day.

We looked for a one or two tic higher high as we progressively suggested anyone long move their stops up, and they are marked on the angels and demons chart. We will pay attention to those supports on subsequent retests.

Scene of the crime was 2549.25, and we thought the fast profit taking sucker bar needed to bust 48.75 to 48.5 to have any chance of making this a two way day.

It was not to be, and we suggested gravy above 49 in late day trading, with risk reward awful.

6085 was our assumed target for NQ today
