sp'60min
Summary
*closing hour action: micro chop, and still leaning to the upside.. holding rising trend (at least for the sp'500).
--
Broadly, a day of moderate weakness.. but with WTIC Oil breaking below the $40 threshold this afternoon, the normal latter day rally was stunted.
Instead, we have indexes closing near the lows. Not a dire close for the bulls, but it sure ain't pretty for a fair few stocks.

Yours truly has a 'don't trade into a long weekend rule'. But as some indexes are suggestive we've maxed out at sp'2056, R2K 1103, and Dow 17648 - along with VIX in the 13s, I'm getting damn itchy to get involved.
In terms of price... the indexes are all at prime re-short levels. In terms of time.. we've seen a clear SIX weeks.. which is also more than enough.

more later... on the VIX

SPECIAL note...
There is a problem with the DISQUS comments system. It is not specific to this blog/site.. many others across the world are being impacted.
I can receive and reply to comments (via emails/moderation page), but they will NOT appear in the actual post (at least to most users).
I'm sure it'll fix itself soon enough.
