Yes, a pretty good day for the RUT. Since it asserted itself, the 9 EMA has become support on the RUT, just like the SPY and the Qs.

A great weekend to all!

Ha -- I'm with you and Art -- staying very, very nimble. Got to go to they gym now and do my stretching. Don't want to pull any muscles while trading

I think Shakespeare was writing about today's action in the averages as we go into the jobs numbers tomorrow.

Matt -- Wouldn't you have been stopped out for a small loss when the next candle traded below the low of the hammer you entered on?

The world's Central Bankers certainly don't like what's in there.

Don't know the timing but Draghi can definitely move markets too.

Market likes the way Yellen moves the goal posts.

We need a new name for "markets" in a world in which they are becoming more like the puppets of the central banks. The problem for the CBs is that sooner or later their strings will break.

Nice big falling wedge, may well be waiting on the Fed. Would measure up to almost 1140 if it goes.

Plenty of overhead resistance on daily but clean pattern on the 60.
