No mention of the FLU in this post just the market and charts

Resistance won today.  With the market closing below 860 and down a whole 1% the bears won today.
When the day first started out, the market was bouncing off the 20EMA.  But the market failed to get above 870.  One thing to note, is that the last 3 hour candle sticks made a Matching Low pattern, which is a bullish pattern, but the market is now below the 20EMA which is bearish.

On the daily chart, no resistance or support was broken.  The candlestick pattern that has formed is a Bullish Harmi. Currently we are still in the Light Blue Scenario, with the the possibility of drifting now to 840 for a bounce back up. 


The dollar was up 1% today vs the market being down 1%.  86.10 should a key level of resistance for the dollar. It has broken back into its ascending triangle and a break above this would signal another break of the triangle. 


Also keep and eye on the VIX.  It is close to breaking out of its triangle.  A break above 39-40 would be a strong break out.
