3pm update - algo bots gone wild

After the early chop in the morning, its turned into a quiet trading day, and that means the algo-bots are back in control again..which makes further melt higher into the close quite likely. A close just shy of the 1570s is viable, with VIX possibly in the 13s.

Summary

For the bears, this is turning out to be something of an ugly Monday. This time last week, bears were revelling in some very strong downside.

Overall, it does look like the ABC 'wave 2 bounce' idea is still viable. Unless we get a daily close >1575, I'll be holding to that scenario.
