    Here's a 30 min SPX chart, today the SPX and market sold off and took out the 1130 support area.  It bounced off the support at 1115.  The next support areas are noted below at 1095 and of course the 'big one' is 1085.

    Matt,

    When these price targets are met, are you considering some kind of minimum time retracement as well?  ie. We've gone up for many months non-stop and we are meeting our sell-off targets in a matter of hours.  I find it hard to think that the market will be done its correction after only a few days.  Not sure if this is actionable insight, but since the tight bollinger bands didn't result in a "large move" -- although it did rally for about four weeks, that perhaps that was the fakeout move and the "large move" is about to hit us right now and open those bollinger bands way up with a prolonged move to the downside.  

     

    Thanks matt!
