MOC $614M Buy Side - tiny

XLF Cup n Handle on the daily - looks like it wants 200DMA/top of Boll Bands - could buy a risk reversal short the 32 P buy the 33/35 C spread for about $0.50 - any opinions from you options experts?

nice EOD short squeeze from the gap zone

1. Wave 4 is typically 14.6%, 23.6%, or 38.2% of wave 3. SPY is already lower than the 38.2%.  I'm no EW expert, but would assume SPY needs to stay above Wave 1 high 402.49 for the count to be valid. The gap 403.69-404.55 looks like the next most interesting prospective bull/bear battle bounce back opportunity zone.

FRC - after hours serious tail candle fade the earnings release pop. deposits worse than expected

Depending on the size of the Market on close imbalance relative to the day's volume, some traders will fade MOC when it is countertrend, or play the trend if it is heavy - official data hits at 3:50pm, so, for today, you could have put a limit buy order at the VWAP on SPY and been rewarded for it. By no means is this a consistent trade to take.  Trader's choice.  I post the early data to the community when it's available.

Matt, is XLB a new long as of yesterday's close, or as of 4/13? Thank you

MTB - heavy concentration in commercial real estate - reported this AM. initial pop...then drop.

Wave 4 is typically 24% or 38% fib retrace of wave 3.  That last little rip off the SPX lows (24% retrace) broke intraday symmetry to upside.  seems like a really short timeframe for a pullback, however - does that imply that 38% retrace is still in the cards, down to SPX ~4063?

CTA positioning is too short, and they are forced to cover in pretty much any scenario (barring some major negative market dislocation) according to the info provided. 

Keep in mind, corporate buybacks in black out period - resumes April 26, and there is massive amount of catch-up to take place, relative to annoucements. Soo, there is another bullish driver.
