THE SHORT-TERM TREND IS DOWN, I HOLD BOTH LONG (TRAPPED) AND SHORT OVERNIGHT

No idea about tomorrow, the seasonality is bullish as tomorrow is so called bullish Thursday but the market sill owns me a lower close as mentioned in 07/12 Market Outlook. And yes I’m aware that the market owns me a new high too as reiterated in 07/11 Market Outlook, so conflicts in signals but the new high is statistically within 2 weeks on average, so may be the lower close first?
