The big moves have been have been happening afterhours when the
overseas markets are open. Hence the big gapups and gapdowns that
we've been having because the US futures have been following with
the European and Asian markets. For example, last night the ES
dropped from 1238 to 1213.50 from 6:15 PM/EST to 3:30 AM/EST. Then
it rallied to a high of 1254.75 at 9:00 AM/EST before today's open.
That's a 25 point ES move in one direction, and then a 41 point
move in the other. All that happening before the cash open for the
U.S. markets.
Didn't the S&P move from
rising wedge?

So that was the point that they're making.
The /es had around a 46 handle range.
