Who wants to sell?

The market wants to sell.

Failed breakouts, heavy sell-volume and bad reactions to bad news make the message clear.

We're looking at the recent low of 1275 on the S&P 500 for a test. What happens there we'll discern as it unfolds.

We expect volatility to pick it up a notch, but it wouldn't be the first time to see price action do a screaming reversal as shorts are slaughtered near a retest.

The idea is to use tight stops and limit any damage from the bet going against you.
