11am update - momo stocks really struggling

Whilst the main indexes are on the slide again - after failed opening gains,  there is particular weakness in the momo stocks, with FB and TWTR both seeing very significant declines of -7% and -3.5% respectively. Metals are weak, Gold -$8, with Oil -0.8%


FB, daily


TWTR, daily


Summary

Clearly, there are still a lot of momo bulls who need to get rattled out of their positions.

As for the main market...next support is the 1780/70 zone. If we do level out there..it offers a H/S formation..so long as we don't bounce much above 1815/25.
-

VIX is trying to turn positive..but as many recognise..there is strong resistance at the 200 MA on the weekly cycle - in the 19s.


11.18am..first sign of a turn...bears highly vulnerable to a sig' bounce..as high as 1810/15..but that would no doubt take at least 2-3 days to achieve.
