SPX: Alternate Bullish Hypothesis; Cup & Handle in Weekly!

Updated
Chart shows all. At the indicated futures price, ES mini-Futurz trades exactly at the gap fill price and upper support TL at 3080; Trend has been UP;;
Fighting the Trend has proven Disastrous since 23 March!! FGS be carefull my Dear Bears!!!

I am closing all my shorts at the open; take what the market gives and expect the opening gap to close quickly IMO! Taking a small long in the open!

Jobs report = more good bad news; also:
"Philadelphia Fed said manufacturing activity in the region was much stronger than had been anticipated. Its June reading rose solidly to 27.5 from -43.1 in May."

Comment
Stay in cash until we get a clear direction. Makes a higher low intraday. Can go either way atm; poor R/R IMO.
Trade active
Took a small pos in SPY calls long the 29Jun 312, short the 22Jun 316 in bull spread; just 6 contracts
Trade closed: stop reached
Stopped out in PM.
Comment
I'm NOT reversing short here after stopping out the longs; intraday price formed a Bullish Butterfly 'M' pattern. See if it lifts Friday again.

I hate to trade Fridays and get stuck in a pos over weekend, anything can happen!
Comment
Closed flat after all EOD. There is a bull flag flying, see idea below; IMO after grinding a bit for another few sessions the beast will surge to a blowoff top.

Shorting is not advisable IMO; and I am a perennial Bear.
Comment
Yeah pumping the futurz dammit! They gonna BTFD IMO.

Played Fade the Gap, a favorite game and recovered all the stop-loss plus more bank! Bullish IMO; not holding over the weekend though, GLTA!
Trade closed: target reached
On Fade the Gap I don't always expect to return to starting price; it gave back 15 pips and I closed out.

DO NOT SHORT THIS MONSTER!! YOU WILL GET KILLED IMO!!!

Price formed a bull flag which broke out north today and is setting up for the final blowoff top and gap close at 3330; I do not recommend shorting at this juncture, it is making a measured move of same expected height as 15-16 June, for ~220 pips!!!
