Key off the 9021 Inflection Pivot for an indication of the session tone and confirmation of the negative signal.
On the SELL side accept FADE, REVERSAL and BREAKOUT strategies against the 9021 Inflection Pivot and below the Friday's high at 9071. BREAKDOWN strategies should just "go" BELOW 8978, so do not risk much. FADE strategies are recommended over REVERSAL strategies as the MKT is expected to hold lower structure and any momentum shift should be considered a potential positive corrective turn.
On the BUY side avoid REVERSAL strategies off major support levels as these signals are more likely short squeeze rallies and opportunities to SELL into and FADE. BREAKOUT strategies above the 9021 are aggressive as it is a counter trend trade, so risk less and use smaller size. Any BUY FADE should have confirmation and are not recommended if the integrity of the 9021 Inflection Pivot level is intact. After a break in the negative structure is confirmed support levels can be used for short term reactions using aggressive position management.
Note: The MKT is in an aggressive sell posture. If the intergrity of the 9021 Inflection Pivot is intact its just a matter of time before the sellers try to overwhelm the MKT. Look for excuses to get short. If the 9021 level is breached opportunity will be on both sides of the MKT, however the bias still rests with the Bears.
