Euro, Cable (the British Pound) and the SPX were divergent

On Friday, these highly correlated "cousins" were strikingly divergent.   They move large and opposite to each other.  

This kind of odd move could be what is nicely called an "exhaustion gap" but I kind of think of it more as an intentional throw off by the big boyz, the market makers, HBB......the ones who bought the gov.  

As such I took a short position in afterhours futures on Friday afternoon.   Seemed like a no-brainer, Sunday will tell!!
