Summary

*VIX is again trying to break the down trend... need 23s to offer any chance of a minor retrace/bounce tomorrow.
--

In terms of upside power, this is the strongest up wave since early October.

There will be VERY strong resistance around 1950/65.. and I currently intend to launch an initial short around there... but after this Friday's opex.

notable movers...

CNX  +15%, even the last of the great coal miners is catching a bid today.
FCX +13%, rife with debt problems... but for today.. its soaring

NFLX +5%, as the momo chasers temporarily re-appear.
TSLA +8%, as talk of model X increases

TVIX -8%... as the VIX continues to broadly cool
