The bottom line, the short-term trend is up. I hold no position over the weekend.

No idea about Monday, so far it’s a range bounded market so we have to wait until the breakout to get the true direction.

One trick today, when both VIX and SPX closed in red, 30 out of 44 times (68%) a green day the next day.

Enjoy your weekend!
