Summary

Yesterday opened weak, and whilst there were a few bounce attempts, the market settled very significantly lower. S/t momentum turned negative at the open, and was increasingly negative across the day, settling on the low side.

Overnight futures have been subdued, if leaning a little higher.

Bears should be seeking a bear flag to be built, before resuming lower to challenge the recent minor low of 3906. Prime target is a tag of yellow gap into the 3850s.

I hold short, and am trying to be patient!
