Summary

The market sure is trying to hold together, but the underlying pressure is increasingly bearish.. as reflected in a VIX which is creeping upward.

-
notable weakness..

miners, GDX -2.8%.. as the metals are unable to bounce from yesterdays powerful reversal (at the 200dma)

TWTR -4.5%.. momo chasers are likely in trouble in that one.
