I think this is ES's

    I think this is ES's last stand, a close below 4434.25 is the start of the bear market in my books.  I know a few systems are long but we are in a pretty precarious position.  Losing the 20d MA at 4487 today doesn't help.  There are a confluence of pivots at 4440-4443 so we will see if that provides any last line of support,  but things are not looking good at all.  I am squinting at the charts trying to find why I am wrong but can't find it.  Does anyone want to play devil's advocate?

    I'm pretty sure that IBD will throw in the towel on their short-lived confirmed rally. My outsized hedges finally came into play and I sold half of SQQQ and UVXY at the close. Maybe China will follow us down and YANG will get farther in the money too. Took some profits earlier on PFIE, GSHD and ELTK, which I've been pretty patient with. Stops throughout the day in CELH, CVNA  & NTES. Took the DASH short that was suggested and disappointed to see it not get dragged down with the market, at least not yet.

    exactly, the onus is on

    exactly, the onus is on the 'bulls' That said as far as mean reversion systems, VERY little is active, one sub system out of 22 has a 1st entry, that's nothing. In times of deep correction it's normal to have 2, 3, maybe 4 sub systems all in trades at the same time, with some of them in 2nd and 3rd entries, so one sub system in one entry is just nothing. That's just the way the mean reversion systems trade, they scale in and are early at times. 

    And yes some of the KISS systems are long but they will simply stop out. the KISS systems tend to behave as follows, they catch a nice trending trade, then go through a whipsaw -  the last trades were nice winners so odds may favor a whipsaw. 

    onus is on the bulls - they need to rally this right away otherwise the deeper ABC zig zag may be unfolding, which would be fine with me, I'd love to see SPX pull back into the mid 4200's, would be a good buy area

    Dollar strong, rates strong, etc
