The market is in transition - as it decides where the heck to go: up to new SPX highs and beyond or another trek down to 2740 or lower. I am tempted to simply stand aside and wait but no wimping out, let's take a stand! 

 

SPX finished below the daily SPX stop, barely so, by a few tenths of a point, so ST SELL is on.

SPX finished below the critical 2830/2 zone, so ian IT sell triggered. 

Any daily close above 2832 SPX invalidates the IT sell

Any daily close above SPX 2827 invalidates the ST sell. 

First target down is 2807. 

Most likely, the markets will chop about for hours or days or the rest of the Summer.....or not. 

This ia an hourly chart, drilling down one timeframe lower when there is too much chop in the daily chart, see below for that chart.

Daily SPX xhart with VIX overlay (bars).... not that rather tall bar on Friday. Breakout?
