20260209 recap



Chose NQ for the long side instead of ES because it has more covering potential.

Worked nicely to last weeks POC

As it is a "look below and fail" on the daily (Wyckof "Spring") i gave it more room to see if more energy (new money buyers) comes in. This did not really happen but can happen anytime.

20260217 pre market



NEWS
1400 trump

CONDITION 1
3.5 month balance
weak at the top
weak at the bottom

CONDITION 0
eth is 99% inside friday rth

THOUGHTS
Until we see a factual breakout assume more status quo (balance)
> be cautious with shorts at the bottom (If, then narrow)
> The more adult trade occurs when other short players are short in the hole and Covering starts
