11am update - weak market

The market is still weak, and has now taken out the pre-market lows. It remains a tricky trading day, not least with the QE out there. VIX is 6% higher, in the mid 15s. Oil is naturally weak, -0.5%, with metals moderately higher: Gold +$7  USD is very weak, -0.6%

vix'60min



Summary

The opening black (fail) candle on the VIX has now been negated.

Original downside targets of sp'1630/25 are again viable within the next few hours, with VIX 16s.

*I remain content on the sidelines though, I'm simply going to avoid any days where there is significant QE.

11.02am..well, its the sp'1641s..and still falling. Looks like the secondary target will be hit after all...with VIX 16s.
-

11.28am... ignore the count..but still.. it could easily floor at any point. I still argue its a risky..messy day.



Bulls need to break > 1674

11.38am..ohoh, FMNA..opens higher...swift reversal



.Not good for those buying the open

11.47am... market making a more serious rally attempt. 15min MACD cycle set to go positive around 12.30pm. Bears should be frankly...terrified. Upside into the low 1680s IS viable by late Friday.
