12.30pm update - poor bears

Another lousy start to the week for the bears. With the primary weekly and monthly trends still bullish, the algo-bots remain in firm control.

There is simply ZERO sell-side volume, and the bots are able to 'work their magic'.

Summary

I have to say, its pathetically laughable how the bears still can't break the indexes below the lower wedge line.

Clearly, the meltup can't last forever, yet a weak pullback to dow 13k looks the best the bears can get.

Mr VIX saw almost a 10% rise early this morning, but as I keep saying, 10% of not very much is..not very much. Until VIX is back over 18 or so...any rise in the VIX is to be dismissed as mere noise.

More after the close*
