20250113 recap



A and B liquidated
Looked like it could accelarate but did not
As we are in a long environment i traded long after the liquidation
But market did not find the strenght to make a move up
In addition i had some bad luck with news
The up-pop before the close was assumed (sellers did not get paid) but not traded because i lacked emotional energy and finished the day

I see no mistake from my side. Just an unavoidable negative day

We end with an inside day
Still have singles (excess) from friday and monday
Financials were weak after earnings
Today before open we have more bank earnings

20260114 recap



Market fell but not very convincing
Large retracements, not much follow through

Sellers after E period did not get paid so we see a nice covering into the close

The day as a whole is a "look lower and fail" for now

Things can change fast in this newsy environment
