I was impressed with yesterday's strong bounce off of support and am also impressed with today's move right back down to those support levels. The markets opened up this morning and basically trended downward all day. Both the RUT and the SPX closed at or just above their support levels. RUT closed at $601 and SPX closed at $1080. Today's candlestick patterns are the classic bearish engulfing pattern or what is known as an outside day in the bar chart world. So after the market looked pretty solid yesterday after strongly bouncing off support, now it has driven strongly right back down to support. The key to watch for on Monday is definite break of these support levels.
My Nov iron condor is still in good shape with a P/L of +$2,600, delta = +$12 and theta = +$69. Hopefully, the consolidation of the past several sessions will continue and we can just sit and watch the time decay. But today's strong down move certainly has my attention.
Back Down Again
