10am update - choppy open

US equities recover from their pre-market lows, turning a touch positive. A test of the 1991 high is just about possible this morning. VIX is showing no market concern, melting fractionally lower in the low 15s.

Summary

*I remain on standby to launch a short-index position. Am watching the smaller 60/15/5 min cycles.

Certainly, anything much above 1986... is pretty tempting.

Notable strength in the Dow, +100pts.... hmm
-

9.56am... SHORT-indexes (via SPY) from sp'1981....   smaller 5/15min cycles look tired.

I suppose we might go higher to 1990... but I'm content with my entry...
-

10.00am.. So, I'm short from 1981.. lets see if we can get a weekly close in the 1960s... or far better... the 1950s.. with VIX 18/19s.

10.15am.. Okay.. here is something pretty significant...

Trans.... unravelling...


Starting to look like we have a clear 'marginal new high'... with a strong reversal.

10.26am.. Miners continue to implode.. GDX -4.2%.... incredible to see.. but as expected. Only another 25% to go !
