3pm update - melting into the weekend

The main indexes are quietly melting into the weekend, and there remains a small bias to the upside. Market still looks set to move into the sp'1675/85 zone next week. Whether that is done in one big leap on Monday...or drags out across Tue/Wednesday...we'll soon see.

Summary

*note the VIX, doing its typical 'melt lower' into the weekend.

No point bears taking new short positions into the weekend, not least the options traders.

I continue...the patient bear..seeking a major re-short on the indexes...next week.

A trade from the 1675/85 zone...down to the 1600/1575 level..will make all the waiting...worthwhile.
