Summary
We're at the top of the channel on the hourly index cycle, so...its going to be difficult for the market to hold these initial gains.
With the lousy econ-data, early gains fading, but we're not collapsing. Bears have ZERO downside momentum right now. Its going to take a few days just to get a down cycle started.
VIX flips green..is the low in for volatility?
