Board at 3:35 PM ET

• Last 431.93, +0.32% from the reference.

My read: SHORT

The opening spike to 440.64 has been sold all day and the 4h high is only 433.25. The fresh low at 429.98 an hour ago shows sellers still in control, and the current bounce to 432 is so far just a retest from below.

Downside reference is 429.98. Losing it opens fresh lows.

Invalidation: a 15m close above 433.25 breaks the lower-high pattern.

Thin, new and tied to US market hours. Keep risk tight.
