Summary

Yesterday saw the market break a new historic high, but then cooling back into the late afternoon. S/t momentum settled on the lower side. Wednesday’s SPX and VIX daily candles were both distinctly bearish.

Overnight futures have been choppy, if leaning on the weaker side, and we’re set to open a little lower.

Considering yesterday’s daily candles, orange gap looks set to be hit, whether late today or tomorrow.
