The bottom line, the short-term trend is up. I hold partial long position overnight.

OK, no inertia at least on the downside, let’s see whether it applies on the upside, as a strong up day like today most likely won’t be just a one day wonder, at least a higher high could be expected. Although chances are a little bit higher that we’ll see a gap down tomorrow morning because we’ve had 5 consecutive gap ups.

VIX BB buy setup has confirmed today, let’s see how far it could go this time.
