This is exactly the point when I fail a lot. Not sure when to take profit, hesitate and it melts away later. My initial target was VIX reaching BB on weekly charts; not there, but close.

INTERNALS:
Declining volume = 5.8x advancing volume (just spiked again to 7x) edit: just pulled back to 3x
Declining issues = 8.9x advancing issues (now 9x) edit: still 9x

vol surge, biggest red, hopefully it means rebound here first then we'll see, probably another leg down.

something I read a couple days ago... meant to post it.. but didn't get around to it.. “The Tick readings I am seeing (-1100 and -1200) is like an accelerator on the floor that is pressed for an indefinite amount of time,” Cook says. “Eventually the motor will run out of gas. Now, anything that comes out of left field will create a strain on the market.” Since the CCT is a leading indicator, prices have to catch up with the negative Tick readings.
“Think of a dam that has small cracks that are imperceptible to the eye,” he says. “Finally, the dam gives way. Eventually, prices will go south, and the Tick numbers will be horrific.”
In retrospect, this was a perfect storm.
Institutions started to pull money in July, wars raging in Europe and middle east, Argentinian default, and finely some are front running the poor August seasonality. My guess is this mini correction will eventually be bought and this was not THE TOP yet.
