This is a lousy open for the bears. Considering the weekend news, we should be significantly lower, but no, we're roughly flat.

Summary
This is just no good for the bears. There is the very real threat of new meltup highs of sp'1450 this month, unless we get some sell side volume. Right now..there is nothing.
Even worse, we have a black candle on the VIX hourly and daily charts - at the top of the channel no less.
