On Jan 6 higher high no follow through. On Jan 10 ramp that didn't get there no follow through. Elliot wave guy I follow on twitter wanted new high by 4 points to confirm start of 40 to 80 point move. I don't see selling in last half hour as a strong up move. Would say VIX is bullish but VIX trade is so one sided it is being cited as contrary indicator. Don't forget possible for oil to get derailed tomorrow. At least no one will believe what ever API releases this evening after last couple of weeks.
I will be more positive if strong buying for the extended trading coming up.
