1. I count six gaps starting on 11/16, and the market likes to fill gaps.
2. It's gone parabolic, almost straight up today.
3. Danger Will Robinson!
I'll be out for December 1st, but will be looking for re-entry soon, probably higher with my luck.

The S&P 500 had a Hanging Man candlestick on Friday. This study shows the median returns for the S&P 500 for the 10 days following a Hanging Man candlestick when it's within 1% of a five-day high.
As you can see, the five days following the candlestick have a bias to trade a bit lower - especially days three and four.
