10am update - still within the down channel

The main indexes are a touch higher, but we're still clearly within what is now day'4 of a down channel. Bulls need a break >1655, but even then..it could merely be a sub wave..with one further fall to 1635/25 late today/Wednesday.

Summary

Its a very quiet open, and there just doesn't look like much to motivate the market.

With the recent trend being to the downside, I have to think there is very significant risk of further melt lower into the late afternoon.

For now, I'm simply not getting involved.

I'll consider long 1635/25...or short 1680/90.

Until either of those...I remain a mere watcher.


10.42am.. and sp'500 BREAKs above channel.

Door is now open to an easy 1665/70....and then 1680/85
.
I am not chasing it though.
