Breadth and divergence can be very tricky. Sometimes the TF contract can be a good 'tell' as to the market's eventual intentions. But leadership can take turns. And in the give in take of a game of tug-a-war, one side can get dragged into playing catch-up to the other before getting its footing and regaining the upper hand. However, my early shorts in the TF today were a bit excessive. I lacked patience and needed just a bit more of a wait-n-see aspect to the development. But what's worst of all, is how many times this has happened to me. Lessons are hard to learn..... Stay focused. Learn from your mistakes.
