Summary

*I don't much like the attached count on the hourly chart, but that is the best I can come up with.

Certainly though, it seems utterly pointless for anyone to attempt to short the indexes - or go long VIX this week.

Before we know it, it'll be Thursday 1pm..and it'll be a rather long weekend.
