tuesday brainstorming

1. Markets are within the process to confirm the top as the NQ made the 13 count and ES has it by today. Sentiment has improved to the bullish side with out being euphoric but very obviously some bet their house that QE3 will make their day wit the best start into January since 1987. We have at least a trading top and start with wave 1 down within this week. My target is the 1240-50 initially for the SPX - in order to get a big top we ned some roller coaster action within the 1220- 1320 zone.
