It looks that the market is being ruled by day traders.  I have been on position trading, and now I think I need to switch to day-trading also.................................

Options market is pricing a ~+/-41 points SPX move through Friday. SPX chart is looking a bit sick at the moment, to my eye, BWDIK.

Wednesday was another roller-coaster, in the red for most of the session, but that final drop was enough for a small profit. 

 

Trading this market reminds me of the final phase of the DOT COM bubble

 

But, it is different, always different, yet the major characteristics of a bubble remain the same and this one is a BUBBLE that may still have room to rally before it blows up.
