Mr Market is holding significant gains of around 1%. With two hours to go, bulls just need to hold things where they are. Bears could do with a close back in the 1550s, which will easily open up the 1540s early Wednesday. VIX is possible floored in the low 14s.

Summary
A somewhat frustrating day, but for those bears who haven't re-shorted yet, now might be the best time, not least with the low VIX.
--
I remain heavy short from sp'1563, and will hold into Wednesday
Target remains sp'1545/40, with VIX in the low 16s.
UPDATE 2.28pm looks like we're rolling over...
A close in the 1550s would be a bonus, after the stronger than expected bounce.
