Summary

*opening reversal candle in the VIX.. which is a problem for the bulls...
--

So, strong gains... but it remains the case that the market is highly vulnerable to any sporadic Greek news headlines.

It will be important for China to have another a second consecutive net daily gain.. to conclude the week.

*opening reversal in INTC..  swinging from the $29.80s to the 29.20s.... I've no idea why. Core support remains the $29s... that had better hold.. or its a major problem.
