Summary
So.. here we go again.. we're set for another powerfully bullish open.
Unlike yesterday though, we're going to break straight above declining resistance.. and that is a much more positive situation than yesterday.
A net weekly gain is now viable, with a close in the sp'2075/85 zone... along with VIX 17/16s.

Overnight China action: The market opened a little lower, but then soared, settling higher for the second consecutive day, +4.5% @ 3877. Further upside looks due into August... 4300/500.. .before renewed weakness after mid August.. into early Oct. Downside would be to either 3K.. or even 2500.

9.35am.. a clear break of the down trend.... first target the recent high of sp'2085.
VIX -12% in the 17.40s.. a weekly close in the 16s is now viable.. if sp'2080s.
*I am largely refraining from any comments on the latest absurb Greek deal/offer... but yes... it IS bizarre that they are now looking to agree to something the people voted against last Sunday.
