3.10pm Market testing the 50dma..@  sp'2067... notably.. VIX not broken the earlier high... at least yet.


3.26pm.. fractional break of the 50dma... sp'2066... VIX still not breaking a new high.

What is clear.. if 2060 fails.. then next realistic support is the 2020/10 zone.. where the 200dma will be lurking next week
