• The reasons for the markets decline have not changed. The hope for change created strong short covering. The reality of “no” change will drive the markets lower again.

• we hit the 20ema and feel we will head back down to re-test
• The downside correction continues until the public says “Just let me out”.
• market overbought
• needs to consolidate
