$ESH25 – March E-Mini S&Ps (Last:5996.50)

It has been years since the E-Mini S&Ps created a bearish impulse leg of daily-chart degree. They did so last week, however, with a plunge that breached the required two lows: a small ‘internal’ from December 10, and the external low at 5921.00 recorded on November 19. The implication is that the urgent short-squeeze rally on Friday will sputter out shortly, allowing the futures to resume their well-deserved slide into hell. It will be interesting to see whether this happens before New Year’s, which would be the kind of shocker that takes everyone, bull and short-covering bear alike, down with it.  This seems difficult to imagine, given that the rigged support system for the stock market is ubiquitous. It includes Fed funny-money, portfolio managers locked into a handful of high-fliers, and share buybacks by companies with many more tens of billions than they know what to do with. Be patient, permabears. Your day is coming, probably sooner rather than later.
