Regardless of the exact close, there remains a distinct underlying downward pressure in the US equity market. Further, there is clearly no sign of any panic.. and we're 4% (at minimum) from any kind of market capitulation. There remains a significant threat that sp'1820 will not hold this Thursday.

Summary
*I am short DIS, AAPL, GE, DAL, and long-VIX. Will hold overnight
--
Price structure on the small 15min cycle is a bearish pennant
So.. lets see how we close... frankly anything in the 1870s would be a bonus.
*Today was day'9... in theory.. days 10 and 11 should see rather powerful net daily declines.
-
3.10pm... New intra low .. sp'1875 .. with VIX 27.50s.
For those holding short overnight.. this is a good lead into tomorrow morning.
3.24pm.. sp' 1874... VIX 27.80s.. its all rather good :)
3.38pm.. a bounce from 1872 to 1880.... bears covering.. .it can't possibly be buyers at this level/time.
Regardless... rally FAILED... the setup into tomorrow remains bearish.
notable weakness: AAPL -3.5% in the $108s.
