Summary
..so much for the bull flag... the 1870s really needed to hold.
If 1857 fails.. then its empty air to 1750/25 BEFORE the FOMC... and then a rally.
Best guess: the low HOLDS, but for anyone bold enough who is long, 1857 remains the ultimate and absolutely clear dead-stop level.

notable weakness...
CHK, daily
.. as Mr Market is starting to finally recognise this company is on the 'disappear list'.

3.10pm.. a notable bounce from sp'1864 to 1874... bulls need a close >1875 to break above short term down trend.
VIX -1% in the 26s... showing NO sign of going hyper.. and that IS a problem for the equity bears.
3.25pm.. Well, there is sp'1878... a net daily fractional gain is on the menu... but hell... bulls got a real scare just earlier.
VIX confirming the underlying upward pressure, -1% in the 26s.
I'd only feel comfortably long-VIX from 20/18.. with TVIX 7/6s.
3.29pm.. pretty fierce short-stop cascade... swinging from 1864 to 1881
It remains a NASTY MARKET !
