1pm update - battling to hold the morning floor

Price action remains somewhat twitchy, as the sp' battles to hold the earlier floor of 2066. VIX is holding sig' gains of 13% in the 16.80s. Metals remain under USD pressure, Gold -$10. Oil is entirely unable to draw in any buyers today, -5.6% in the $37s.

Summary

The 11am candle offered a rather good floor at 2066... but this past hour has not showed any real follow through.

It remains a somewhat strange day.. other than the continued broad weakness in Oil, there is little reason for today to be anything other than minor weakness.. before resuming higher.

notable weakness...

CHK, daily


The horror continues in the oil/gas sector. CHK was in the $29s in summer 2014.. now the $3s look viable in the near term. Even a near 50% jump to $6.00 (into Jan' 2016) would in no way negate the broader downward trend.
