some frivolous stuff with numbers

The R down 6024 to 5994 is 130, a 50% retracement would be 65 at 5959.

The number 65 sticks in my memory as i was long and very nicely in profit and the market went 65 ticks in my favour.
Unfortunately overnight the shennanigans between Bill and Monica became public and i ended up taking a loss. The market fell and then did another 65 up before really tanking.

I have since referred to it as the "kiss of death" for the spi.

If you look up 65 it has some unique features.

65 is the smallest integer that can be expressed as a sum of two distinct positive squares in two ways, 65 = 8² + 1² = 7² + 4².

This number is the magic constant of 5 by 5 normal magic square:

ie it is the lowest number in 5x5 square where every line adds up to the same number.
[17241815235714164613202210121921311182529].
This number is also the magic constant of n-Queens Problem for n = 5.<sup>[5]

I will be watching 5959 with interest!!
