So, is tomorrow a good day to be buying SDS?

Consider the McClellan Oscillator is up to 105:



and the Total Call/Put ratio is all the way down to 0.65.



Also, supposedly the Elliott wave charting is supposed to be predicting a re-test of S&P number of the beast (Elliott Wave is over my head for now). ( LINK)

Finally, it also seems like the market goes to hell every time the Fed makes one of its moves.

It seems like a bold time to be betting against the market (especially when the Fed is interfering) but the technical indicators are pretty damn strong.

I shorted the spike in the 790 area today. So I hope it does. Futures are down 1%ish right now, but that usually doesn't mean anything by morning.

Technical indicators are meaningless right now. Do NOT bet against the market right now. Bad move.

If I hadn't already blown my load on longer dated puts on some reits, I would be shorting left and right.

By mid summer reality will have set in, Dow between 4K-4,500, then comes capitulation, then remorse, then we will get some new faces with a new sure-fire plan that can't miss...except it will.

which ones did you buy?

And btw, you don't really want to enter positions during opex week. In my for kicks portfolio, I am about 75% cash. I am eager to jump in but I have learned over the last week they always frick you over during opex week.
