SPX upside risk can be managed using 1438 to 1441 support zone, from near-term...1432 and then 1447 horizontals from long-term daily
reward - who knows? 1404 followed by 1370 major horizontals but a close below 1427.39 recent low to 1432 needs to be seen first
I covered shorts held over....do not like the uncertain reward for know upside risk at the moment.
flat for now.
risk vs. reward if now short

That is the logical and sane arguement based on the action of the past 4 years. I would wager, given the action and back and forth spent down here we eventually go lower--especially in light of the VIX BO. Today was a huge battle and I haven't monitored the internals well but I'll be checking them out after the close, obviously. I got no idea from here but I'm flatter than a pancake right now. I would bet the institutions really need a rally into opex cause there has to be a ton of put open interest in the money.

Huge battle Cirrus? I don't think so, a huge battle would have at least a huge volume, this was a low volume day. Perhaps it was a street fight, the mob kept beating a few guys laying on the floor while noone was around...

you're definitely right in the broad sense kisacik; i was thinking about intraday action and the fight around 1430 spx cash. 1430-33 has been a key level since the 3rd of aug.
