Whatever the direction this takes, it's going to be brutal
I personally don't think is will take a direction for a few days. Can easily see this consolidating until next week. Although we have been getting weekend pumps recently.
One funny dynamic that i noticed is that frequently, when people begin to describe a pattern, then that pattern NO longer will take place. It is like someone is relying on people expecting a pattern, and then manipulate to change the pattern...
Maybe that comment is too conspiratorial, but I have seen several proclamations of patterns... that do NOT always play out too well.
