ES managed to fall just to 1262, 4-5 points short of my target 57-58. I had an open buy orders at 62 and 58 but did not get filled. Happens.

Boli, how do you get on with IRT these days ? I punished Bill something wicked to get his darned buttons sorted and a few other things besides :-) Prefer to run delta filtered overlays on traditional charts. Never did the like the footprint charts he did for MD, too much micro detail.

MARKETS NEEDED A CATALYST AND THEY GOT IT. It could well be argued that Egypt's political upheaval may only go so far in impacting G7 equity markets and that in the long-term, these markets will once again pick up due to their own internal demand dynamics as well as demand from emerging markets. But increasingly correlated global markets require the RIGHT TIME and RIGHT PLACE to peak and start to sell-off.

I've explained last Monday that it would be highly unlikely for the Dow-30 to end the week high, because such a development would have made it 9 consecutive weekly gain, something not seen since 1995. And thus, the failure for the Dow to gain on the week would mean 8 consecutive weekly gains, which is the first time since Mar-April, after which the May-June selloff occurred, including the May 6 Flash Crash. Then we saw the VIX posting a 20% increase on Friday, to close above both the 55 and 100-DMA in a single day, something not seen since May (also the month of that Flash Crash).

MARKETS HAVE CYCLES, AND CYCLE TURNS ARE TRIGGERED BY CATALYSTS. Whether it was the April 16 SEC announcement of its Goldman Sachs investigation that called the top later that month, Ireland and Spain's debt troubles in May, or Egypt's govt collapse last week, each of these make a good story for investors to sell-off. A CHINESE RATE HIKE this week before the FEB 3rd CHINESE NEW YEAR may well be the date for the next interest rate hike, in which case would further drive up USD against all currencies, DESPITE lofty oil and gold (which remain fuelled by the Egyptian knee-jerk reaction).

Seems first major support for ES is ~1257, which is also aligned with 2 standard deviations below 20 day MA (-2 sigma bollinger band). So watch out for support there in case of sell off on the open.
