Shorts look like the outcast yet again. The bounce yesterday and the pre-market one today, makes the long setups the only relevant trades to consider. 

Indicators

VIX - Two straight days of selling, and a 20% decline yesterday. It shouldn't be too long before the VIX is back in the 10's again. 

T2108 (% of stocks trading below their 40-day moving average) - 23% bounce yesterday, but still at 42%. Stocks still aren't as healthy as the indices imply. 

Moving averages: 5 and 50-day moving averages reclaimed. Resistance at the 10-day, and possibly at the 20-day MA. 

Industries to Watch Today

Utilities have held up phenomenally well during the recent selling. Financials made a respectable comeback, and one of the stronger indices yesterday. Energy looks rough, went against the market rally yesterday. Solars, however, are showing strength of late. Defense as strong as ever. Small caps were solid, and tech easily beat the broader market.

My Market Sentiment

Yesterday's bounce was more than a dead cat maneuver. The market looks like it has more to go similar to the bounces that we saw in each of the last three months. 

Large caps > Small caps.
