Summary

It is looking rather good for a floor.

Just need a daily close >1910, which does look likely.

It doesn't mean we won't we see another few days of chop in the 1920/1890 zone, but still.... price action looks relatively calm.

1.30pm.. chop chop... sp'1906....  building a floor.    VIX still red, -2%... a close <20 looks probable.
