sgs_st is a short term (hours to days) timer for SPX
(short term trading record of SPY using sgs_st will be posted soon. I'm waiting for a change in sgs_st status)


@ 10:33 PM PST :  Market internal and breadth data suggests that the sell off very likely continues tomorrow.  I expect SPX to test 1900.

@ 3:35 PM - Bears could use a nice whoosh into the close.  If that happens, SPX very likely would test its DTL around 1906 tomorrow, good place to close all or at least 1/2 of put positions:




@ 2:05 PM - On weekly, SPX successfully back tested it DTL, resistance held with no penetration ... good sign for bears:




@ 1:56 PM - Waiting for indices to take out their LOD's before adding more shorts (SPY and SPY puts, short term trading only).

@ 1:10 PM - A small bear flag is being formed:



@ 12:40 PM - Bears need a close at or below 1915 today ... that would very likely send SPX to test 1900 tomorrow. 

@ 11:26 AM -
It seems negotiation among US, Russia, Saudi Arabia and Iran over Syria is hitting major sangs, so oil war is back on and by proxy risk off.

@ 10:55 AM - SPX is about to test support at 1925 (old PDL-1 trend line).  A close below that line today would signal a move to test 1900.

@ 10:17 AM - SPX is not trading below its 13 H-EMA (hourly chart).  Bears like me need a close below that.



@ 9:46 AM - Support: 1940, 1925 /  Resistance: 1950
