Have to believe that if morning lows are broken we see a pretty quick 20 point S&P slide. JDJ

I think the reason we are seeing support hold has to do with the incentive of the amount of puts being held by retail players this opex week. Just too much there to let it go. Think about it if the market makers were holding those puts they would have used the dax flash crash to get it done but instead, it held.

That's a thought.

I just sold 1/3 and will continue dropping my s/l on remainder 5 points for every 10 down and will go flat between 1535/1530. Will only play downside for now.

Maybe with the US 10 year at 1.7% people just going from stocks to cash - not bonds.

Nice trade, I am long but have been for months. I don't see a turn yet. I keep watching but not yet. Dex, maybe. Commodities moves have probably cratered some funds affecting all assets out there so let's see what happens after the 11 am margin clerks are done.

If you don't mind my asking: Based on what?

According to IBD Volume is tracking higher again today as it did on Monday.

It is one of those, "that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger" kind of things. And believe me, if they wanted to kill us they could have...but they didn't.
