Head Fake for Options X ?

    With the Dow down 100 and the TLT only up pennies this looks like another contrived market manipulation, imho.... Watch the bonds if they really take off to the upside this sell off is real. Otherwise it's just a way to cancel the calls.

    Michael as I talked about, it's possible that wave 5 was already in, or this could still be a wave 4, hard to say, but looks like there is more downside nonetheless, hell the 38% Fib is still way down there at 1065 and that's a minimum correction, the 50% fib is 1055.  If wave 5 was in, then you could expect a deeper retracement, maybe 50% or more

    Otherwise looks like all those stochastics crossed as well.  Looks like the 144 Stochastics on the 15 min charts and 60 period from the 30 min chart were the good signals is appears. 

    range bound?

    Looks like we could bounce around between 1055 and 1100 for a couple of weeks, maybe a month, for symmetry for a right shoulder on the SPX
