Anyway, with very quick scales my view is to take it off in 1/4 increments. Otherwise, my SOP would be in thirds. So in a case like this my approach would have two 1/4 increments off now, and seeing what it does for further scaling or riding.

One tick from the previous key low. Look at what happened last time, 6/25-26.

Boy, should my recent students recognize the double signature here...

They got the stops, and are pretty much at my lower area. This is why I like the trailing concept so much. And if this area doesn't hold, all the better.

So, this is what recovery looks like in 'exceptional' AmeriKa? 2008 was the 'wave 1' (crisis-wise), and I have less than zero doubt 'Wave 3' is going to be quite an extended wave, not one of those 1.618 multiples of 'Wave 1' (again, in severity of crisis, not stock market values). I've been saying for a long time now "America is gone". Now I see I'm not the only one. The whole planet is gone.
If any written history survives (something I'm not so sure about), they will look back at this period, of when we were in the eye of the storm, a storm that gained a tremendous amount of strength while we were in the eye, and muse about how no population in history has ever deluded themselves this much (not just the U.S, but the world, as I see Europe being a bit worse off than we are (yes, I think, mathematically, that's the case), and Japan and China as complete jokes). They will wonder how we could even do this, pretend we are fine when the world was burning around us (normalcy bias to the umpteenth power), waste the only chance we had to salvage something, and we just sat back, let the power-mongers make it a lot worse, loot us fully and completely.
But, I've come to conclude it just has to play out this way. Something worse then WWII and all that suffering just is in the cards, it has to happen. It has to, because we didn't do anything to stop the groundwork from being laid over the decades. Bye, Bye, AmeriKa, and world. Bye-Bye.
