Bottom line: Despite the current uptrend, the R/R clearly favors being short at this time, either for a quick profit-taken pullback trade leading up to Thursday big 3 (AMZN, AAPL, & GOOGL) earnings reports and/or scaling back into swing/trend short positions for what may soon be the next leg down in the larger bear market.
