ESM25 – June E-Mini S&P (Last:5917.00)

I’ve disdained the brute power of a 1200-point rally to focus on a simple target at 6051.50 that could conceivably stop the charge. Of course, it never feels like the trend is about to die when it has come this far and lies within easy distance of the old highs. Even if they are achieved, however I’m going to reserve some skepticism for the question of whether the breakout will be marginal rather than the start of a significant new leg up. I doubt it will prove to be the latter, but there’s no point getting heavily invested in outcomes attributable more to mental illness than to the rational actions of investors. The target can be shorted, but only if you know how to control the entry risk so that it stays theoretically below $225 per contract.
