About market, TAPE continued gyration whole day, open lower, UP during day and then closing @ low of the day, not a good sign for immediate action. This TAPE has the feel that it wants to test support again. Internals were mixed. US treasury uptick in rates caused slump @ close.

About market, TAPE opening was extremely volatile, Dow had a swing of 1100 points from low to high of the day and closed UP 567 points. Overbought conditions and rising bond yield caused this extremely sharp pullback, how sharp you ask, Dow tumbled 2821.26 points or 10.61% pullback in exact 7 trading days, majority of those losses in last 3 trading days. Everybody had to deal with this VIX driven sharp selloff, my strategy going into selloff was to book all gains i had and shift into lower RSI, it worked OK except for LRCX which was high RSI when i picked and paid for it by suffering about 26 point loss and selling it. Other 2 sale was to keep stronger stocks instead of not so strong. Hopefully everyone learned that selling strategy is as important as buying strategy. Extreme Volatility may be over but sloppy TAPE may continue for a while.

About market, TAPE is in a frenzied freefall artfully managed by high frequency machines, looks like another day of blood bath coming on Tuesday. 50 DMA was taken out easily today, we could be looking @ 200 DMA as potential support now. VIX saw its biggest jump ever, 60 is VIX all time high back in 2008 / 2009 slump, who knows we may take that one out before it is over, mini support is in 45 area for VIX. RSI of 29.52 in Dow and 33.83 in Nasdaq could have been taken as deeply oversold, but in a HFT driven environment it may not matter. How to deal with current TAPE is a matter of your own strategy and comfort level, we all are different and have to interpret and act according to our own take of this slump.
