Looks like you might have to change your system to bear market rules.

 

As noted in the BLOG that is on my mind.

 

I'm trying to see if the bulls have a last hurrah.  All of my bellwether stocks, except BIDU, are bouncing from the open today so this may be another hurrah (whether it is the last one is yet to be determined).

No decent rally possible unless one of the Chop Houses upgrades the semis and fires the 1999 "Starter Pistol", LOL

It's actually here.  They moved a lot of the FAANG's into XLC (communications) and XLY (retail) and out of XLK (technology).

The bounce now got sold.  With VIX remains high I'd expect another overnight tanking in index futures..............

Bulls need to get VIX under control for a turn around.  Let's see if they can do this in the afternoon today. At this point there is a good chance that VIX will be pushed lower into the close..................

Whattaya know?  The Nasdaq just got a dose of Trader Vic on market expectations:

 

From the link above going into Tuesday:

 

 

I’m expecting a bounce right now. Tomorrow is a day to focus on the open for longs in stocks, options and futures on the major indexes, but I always keep in mind what Trader Vic Sperandeo once said: “If the market doesn’t do what one expects, it is likely to do the opposite twice as much.”

 

The flat sideways Tuesday cued a bigger move, just not in the direction I was expecting. May still bounce up the rest of the week from this lower level.
