Summary

*note the VIX hourly 12pm candle..  hitting declining trend/resistance.. and then cooling.
--

Cyclically... we're set for an equity bearish MACD cross in the closing hour... so.. we 'should' fall.

.. in this market though... even hopes of a fractional net daily decline... are often denied.
