We’ve seen it before.

If you zoom out to a daily you’ll notice it looks very choppy, this is one of the most difficult conditions to trade, just look at May 2010. Stay patient, watch for confirming breakout in the VIX if we do make new lows. A rally to 1225 on the ES before selling off again is possible.
