THE SHORT-TERM TREND IS DOWN, I HOLD PARTIAL SHORT POSITION OVER THE WEEKEND
Seasonality is bearish for the next week as according to Stock Trader’s Almanac, week after July expiration, Dow down 7 of last 12. Also a red OE week could mean either red the next week or at least a lower low ahead.

Enjoy your weekend.
