GDX's chart is starting to look like crop circles. I do think this complex H&S will [eventually] get a quick squeeze for a slightly higher high.  |

Futures down and appear to be testing last week's highs. Unfortunately Naz futures could still fall quite a bit yet to complete it's back test (between 4426-4442)
So instead I'm watching VIX futures resistances at 16.70's and ~17.03. Up until the higher of those, this is still only a baby pull back.

Is it just me or is the contango on the VIX term structure unusually high right now? Walnut?

Naz futures low so far only at the 50% FIB. Is that enough? Last week's high sits ~4426'n'change, still 25 points lower (and VIX futures haven't even tested the 61.8 FIB yet, let alone the final FIB)

IBB seeing a fairly substantial reversal already And then it met FIB resistance. IBB's HOD is now the # to beat. Over that and should be clear for a squeeze higher. Until then it's likely decay, decay, decay.  |
