Hoping that the bears have put an end to their hibernation, I am attempting a short at these levels: my stop has already moved to 4445, and only a 10% fill. I am treating this like a scalp trade for now.
I could be flipping side anytime if I see relevant strength and buy signals forming. We have UK unemployment data out this morning and several US data points at 12:30pm GMT, amongst which is Retail Sales.
