11am update - morning chop

US equity indexes are in minor chop mode. The s/t cyclical setup favours the equity bears, but the clock is ticking, and max' downside is less with each hour. VIX remains elevated, a sporadic jump to the 19/20s remains a s/t threat.

Summary

Price action is minor chop, and that is how it will likely be for much of today. The s/t cyclical setup does lean to the bears, but even the 2650s look a stretch by late Thursday.
