STOCK MARKET BEARISH -- SHORT -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant flips to the short side at SPX 6050 after all the drama this month. Volatility finally popped. Retail stocks collapse. The chips are down, in more ways than one, but SOX remains a hair above disaster at 5119.

Bears will create carnage into the closing bell if SOX loses 5119.

Bulls need UTIL above 1031-1033. If utes roll over and drop lower, and trend lower early next week, that tells you there will be Hell to pay going forward.

On the last trade, that ran for over a month, the quant program and actual trading each gain a couple percent. For the year, the benchmark S&P 500 is up about +3%. The Keybot the Quant algorithm is down a couple percent and the actual trading generated by the algo is flat on the year thus far. Keybot exited IVV and entered SDS now back into the 2x leveraged ETF's since the whipsaw timer has expired.
