Set Up for the Spike

PCYLIJQ

Every time bears have been properly set up to volleyball spike this market lower in recent memory, we know the outcome has been a vicious bear trap which leads to fresh highs.

And, yet, here we are, once again, with that familiar setup, wondering if it will be another run-of-the-mill bear trap before we rally or instead the real-deal breakdown.

The S&P ETF’s 30-minute chart still shows a pennant breakdown in play, rendering the bounce yesterday to be potentially nothing more than a temporary relief trap before we head lower.

The small caps, which had been outperforming all day, are giving up their gains and then some as I write this.

I have put on no new equity longs, only a natural gas play.

As far as the short side, I am open to all options now, including bearish index and volatility ETF”s. I am also stalking some individual shorts inside 12631.

    Double bottom @ $spx1916 or does that i minute breach to 1913 mean 1900 is imminent?
