11am update - shaky gains

The opening gains to sp'1947 have largely evaporated, but the Monday low of 1901 still looks very secure. Price structure into early next week is likely to become a rather large bear flag, and that will open much lower levels into February.

Summary

*Oil -1.7% in the $30s.. and that is not helping the market mood.

So..  renewed weakness, but yesterday's low should comfortably low. The daily equity/VIX cycles will remain against the bears into next week.

Despite the weak 10am hour, I have no concerns that I am missing out on the next down wave.
