  • Yesterday’s play was to not fade a break, up or down. This turned out to be correct, as the market gapped lower on the open, and did not look back throughout the day—ending in a volatile downtrend day for the entire session.
  • Assume bearish mode for the immediate future; early-morning consolidation is likely today. If we see a tight consolidation for the first part of the day, do not fade a breakout in the afternoon, as an afternoon trend becomes more probable.
