Good Friday morning!





That's gonna leave a mark!




The bears continued to show just how strong they really are, as there was selling once again right from the open, but then the real pressure came in at 1:45 PM EST and they basically didn't stop selling until the bell rang to close the day! As we have been saying since last Friday the scales have tipped in favor of the bears and we have now seen a drop of right around 5%! Overnight action tells the story that the bulls are severely wounded, and very little lift has occurred. Price is also below some very key levels so this is continued confirmation that people continue to head for the exits!






In the profile pic and key levels below, you can see we are trading below the VAL (Value Area Low), and the top of the spike and yesterday's 1/2 back. Any price that stays below 5920 is continued edge to the bears. Now if buyers do step in, the look for a move over 5920, then you can see the next several sequenced target areas to look to be hit! If the price breaks prior low again (as it did in the overnight session) then look for lower targets! Futures are trading @ 5888 at the time of this writing.






VPOC Update: 5882 was taken out below yesterday and another new VPOC was added above @ 6013.75. We now have 4 above and 29 below so they are starting to stack up above us. That is yet another bearish sign.
