Summary

Regardless of whether we close moderately higher.. or fractionally red.. its been a tediously frustrating day.

Even a move to the sp'2020/10s is proving to be very difficult.

3.20pm.. sp'2049...  VIX 15.50s... borderline interesting, but still..... I'm way past tired of this.. and it ain't even Wednesday.

*at the current rate.. we'll see a snap lower tomorrow morning... so.. the setup does favour the bears... but clearly..  need <sp'2033 to cause some trouble.
