Nikkei Futures Plunge

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Just your ordinary, stomach-churning, price stability-confirming, 600 point intraday swing in the Nikkei June Future contract, which after taking out the 13,000 support plunged by a ridiculous 200 points in milliseconds. Mrs Watanabe will not be happy when she wakes up. It may be time for the BOJ to raise its hilarious assessment of Japanses GDP once again just to completely lose all credibility. Goldman is thiiiis close to being closed out on its buy Nikkei225 September futs reco from Sunday night (stop of 12,750). On a serious note, keep an eye out for BOJ intervention - the time is fast approaching.

Methinks Japan is going to "round trip" their stock market over this.  ALL the way back down, and then some.  Fibonacci be damned.

Blood Sweat and Tears

Spinning Wheel

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4iNw1Hvcu8

What goes up must come down
spinning wheel got to go round
Talking about your troubles it's a crying sin
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinning wheel spin

You got no money, and you, you got no home
Spinning wheel, spinning all alone
Talking about your troubles and you, you never learn
Ride a painted pony
let the spinning wheel turn

Did you find a directing sign
on the straight and narrow highway?
Would you mind a reflecting sign
Just let it shine within your mind
And show you the colours that are real

Someone is waiting just for you
spinning wheel is spinning true
Drop all your troubles, by the river side
Catch a painted pony
On the spinning wheel ride

Someone is waiting just for you
spinning wheel is spinning true
Drop all your troubles, by the river side
Ride a painted pony
Let the spinning wheel fly

The CB-induced "liquidity" cuts both ways, folks. When it sloshes from long to short, the turbulence can be stomach-churning.

One more rally, to 1700, first:

"But we should likely see a wave ii pullback begin sometime early this coming week into the 1615-20ES region, which, if it holds support, will likely set up a strong wave iii rally taking us towards the May high and potentially exceeding it."
