Summary

closing hour action: leaning upward to break a new intraday high of 5560. S/t momentum settled on the high side.

… and that concludes a Wednesday. It was a pretty wild day… an ugly morning, but a rather typical 11am bounce… but one that saw the SPX even turning significantly higher.

The s/t cyclical setup favours the bears… just as it did yesterday.
VIX structure offers a big bull flag, and it does threaten more drama, not least for a Thursday.
