Market Up Ahead of Jobless Claims. Preparing for Short Entries

ES traded as high as 1297.50 in overnight trading with EURUSD up as high as 1.277 after Italian T-Bills raised roughly double the EUR 5 bln target.

Jobless claims and retail sales to be released shortly.

I continue to like short entries here in the mid 1290s, though entries here are quite aggressive as there has been no technical signal of a top and trading participation is low. Regardless, I expect the highs are close to being in. As long as we don't see consecutive daily closes over 1300 ES, I will be biased to the downside.

Waiting on the jobless claims numbers now.

  1. Jobless claims rise and miss expectations. Retail sales numbers also worse than expected. ES selling in initial reaction.

    Mid 1290s resistance continues to look good.
