US equities are moderately higher, with a little short-stop cascade underway. Regardless, a new cycle low of sp'1925 has been achieved, with confirmation via VIX 18s. As has been the case since the Alibaba IPO... bounces are to be treated as just that... bounces.

Summary
*typical turn time is 2.30pm of course.. so lets see if this latest nonsense wraps up then.
--
Holding to target downside of 1915/10.... the August low of 1904 is VERY viable, with still 2 trading days left of the week.
Notable weakness: CHK -3% @ $20... like most in the energy sector, its getting crushed.
2.03pm... this cascade of short-stops getting hit... pretty strong
2.13pm.. urghhh. its a short-stop massacre.... a 28pt swing.....
2.22pm... Well, this is volatility...something many have been longing for.... not so fun now huh? lol
Seriously though.... almost 2.30pm... cyclically... we tend to max/floor then.
2.29pm.... being so ill.. (yeah, its true)... I had completely forgotten that the Fed maniacs issued an FOMC press release at 2pm.
Regardless.. its now typical turn time.
Equity bears MUST halt this madness <1965...
