GM and Happy Thursday. Crude took out the August high in the middle of the night and kept going. That move dragged ES under the entire week’s value and pushed NQ back onto the 29375 shelf it has been defending since Monday, while gold handed back a chunk of Wednesday’s rip. I lean short the indexes while ES stays under 7716.75, and I am not chasing crude at 87. Outside of that, this week has been a weird one. Im tired boss. Stay safe and have fun. Almost football season.
