12pm update – cheerleader time

US equities are very significantly lower. Yesterday’s bearish engulfing candles were highly suggestive of downside, but it remains surprising to see 4370 taken out. VIX 25s are reflective of a market that isn’t happy about rate hike’2… due May 4th.

Summary

*repeated micro bounce attempts… but they keep failing.

Hourly RSI <30, as we’re officially oversold. Next opp’ for a turn… around 2.30pm… but clearly, we’re due to settle net lower for the day and the week. With just five days left of April, bears are set for a bearish monthly close.

I’m marginally annoyed at myself for not putting in a stop and getting kicked, but I want the $33s at least. I’m fine to hold into next week.
