The bottom line, the short-term trend is down. I hold partial short position overnight.

As my intraday comment stated, chances are good that the very 1st leg down has completed but after the rebound I still expect a 2nd leg down. For tomorrow, I’m not sure, I don’t believe a bullish Friday because recently almost every day was up so having consecutive up days on Friday may mean not much. On the other hand, we have a little bear trick here, short at today’s close and cover at the Monday close since August 2009, you have 16 out of 18 (89%) chances. Well, just don’t ask me if I, myself has shorted at the close… LOL
