THE SHORT-TERM TREND IS DOWN, I HOLD BOTH LONG (TRAPPED) AND SHORT OVERNIGHT

The bottom line, I think the market is more likely to continue down from here.

The long setup mentioned on 08/19 not confirmed today but Cobra Impulse System still is trying to buy dip here if break above today’s high and close in green tomorrow.
