"I'd put the current odds of a firm low in the market at maybe 20-25% as I stated yesterday I don't really care. We often make a momentum or even volatility type low (likely given the Vix has been cut in half in a day) then bounce and make a price low. Either way I want to see what names have already made their lows and can then digest/consolidate healthy at or near new highs or in a constructive base. Right now it's just WAY too early to know which is why patience pays. We have back to back unfilled down gaps in the general market which means there is very likely selling that is waiting for a"
