Let's say there is taper talk for Jan 14, but S&P goes up, IGM will follow. But tomorrow our real market might not like that, thus up over night and down tomorrow.
Yeah, it is a though one... I don't have answers to be honest :)
Well ja, at this point we can only speculate .....let's see :)

Some insight please ..... As I understand IGM correlate after hours with S@P. So, if no taper, will US react violently upwards???? We took a significant dive since the talk started, since we are an EM. Therefor, we should see a big rise tomorrow when we open...but to the extent tonight.....??? So, I decided that if I get in a bit after the fact, I will not loose out to much...but rather then be sure to get into the right direction. If they indicate taper for Jan 14, then ??????? for us tomorrow.
I think just follow the overseas indices. Taper would be bad for us all, the effect will just be worse for us (as an EM), but the general market direct/reaction there should apply to us as well. In my humble opinion :)

Jake with the all seeing eye!

 

Hehe,

Mass psychology, that is all the market is, it runs on perception and herding mentality.

 

I thought what I would have done if I had a long, and as soon as some selling occurred, herding instinct kicked in, and we dropped, but I dont see it going much further down than this.

IMO

Could be the return move to the broken downtrend line..should start climbing again towards the close if it is!

A

 
DOW busy breaking its downtrend line too (not yet) with a 30min bullish cross in the making!

Change is very good our weakness was the return move and bullish!

But let's see what the FED has in store!

Good luck!

The volume is so low, any buyer or seller will influence it.

IMO,

so any nervous longs going into day end might look to take profit before FED decision, which could send us down a bit.

 

Looks like this is happening.
