Good morning! Took one trade last nite..selling 1318.50 and covering 1317.00 where i apparently had a great fill! Only one contract as i get nervous when im not watching a trade constantly... still expecting 1324.50 sometime this morning...
I agree with both lorn and Kool. every time we have had a 3000000 vol day, it's been a great buying opportunity. you can see this on my 60 minute chart, i use a pitch fork and market structure system. My only concern with going long is the stochastic, i would like to see it drop down below 20. If it drops with little price movement, then we should be in for one a bullish day.

covered one here at 1317.75 as thats the upper band on the one min chart... plus 1.25 there, raising my stop to 1315.25 for a risk free trade on the runner...target ..1318.75 as i expect 1319.00 (minimum) .. still looking for 1324.50 or even 1332 longer term today...
koolblue,

1316.50 is a 50% fib retracement that has much confluence with your extension let's see I am buying here @ 1316.00
