Vey nice chart on IWM. IF it can break out it should reach about 81.4 berfore hitting significant resistence. Or possbly 83 on a back test to set up H&S. Must break 79.14
Sold SPY 130 July calls at 1.31 for +11% in 3 days. All in a bad trade since I could have sold them for much more on Friday at the open, but still a positive trade.
The main reason I'm getting concerned is that the ChiOsc on SPY 60 min is pretty overheated. Wednesday's session is going to be weak, so maybe tomorrow I'll buy some puts. I probably won't place any more trades today.

Technicals and sentiment indicators, across the board, are screaming "buy the dip." There's $10 billion in POMO today. NASDAQ's high-flyers can't get up any steam. And STILL almost no buying volume... What does that tell you? Smells like a lot more downside coming to me, friends.
Good luck to all.

More downside...yes, possibly some new lows this week since the rebound is weak. But "a lot of downside", I seriously doubt it. Greece is falling apart, deals are falling apart, and the market is up today. Since the Greece situation, the market is only down 100 handles and took several months and a massive increase in bearishness to get there. This doesn't seem all that bearish.
I actually expect to see the markets continue to bounce this week, to burn off some of the bearish sentiment and delude "buy the dippers" into jumping back in the water, before the next waterfall down.

Based on recent seasonality, I think today and tomorrow will be slanted to the bulls, but the middle of the week to Thursday should see larger downside action or at least a re-test of the prior low. Friday is very bullish, though.

I'm also in the boat of the markets bouncing this week through the FOMC meeting... markets possibly peaking that day (unless th Fed hints QE3). This is how FOMC weeks often go. Slow melt ups with the VIX getting crushed. However, I do believe the next move down will be pretty explosive. Will start adding shorts on Wednesday if all goes to plan. Nothing is confirmed either way as of yet though.

text book target, almost there. maintain my evil plan, but I think after a pullback if any here, there'll be another higher high at least.
