Yesterday I said gap higher, trade lower. The setups said go bullish. Guess which one got traded, and guess which one paid. Plus ES prints an overnight NATH, crude reacts off the same zone again, and ETH/BTC has a bigger bear move on offer below 0.0287.

Crude fell off a cliff over the weekend because a bomb wasn’t dropped. I kid ye not. Stock index futures are gapping up small to none depending on the index, SPX is heading straight into the longer term range highs, and RUT is shrugging the whole thing off. Plus a Wall of Wins full to the brim to close out July.

Just when you think the bulls are locked up and the bears are loose, everything flips over and SPX lands right back inside the same tight range it was in before FOMC. A lite one today. The TnT setup can wait, the month paid anyway, and my bags are already in the car.

FOMC came and went with a whipsaw, and the bearish swing stance got paid for it.
Follow through, or straight back to the grind? That is the only question this morning.
Crude’s push to $89 has started in earnest, and the wait turned out to be worth it.
BTC is a range within a range within a range, so I went looking somewhere else.

Month end, and the stock indexes are still going absolutely nowhere.
The SPX bear got an update, and this one turned up with size attached.
I passed on a fresh RUT bull setup. Here is the trade-off, and why I am fine with it.
Crude finally found a floor. Crapto found nothing whatsoever.

Why the SPX bear TnT fired as anticipated on the gap higher, and where the bollingers are compressing.
How Uncle Russ flipped its own bear TnT into what looks like a bear flag.
Where crude sits at the $80-$81 over/under, and which side flips it.
Why the BTC lower high came good and how $61k-$60k is the next zone in view.
