The new year begins with an AlgoHell day where everything keyed off of a rising POSX. This sets up the most important question of the day...is this simply another "bear flag" in the ongoing downtrend for the index or is it the start of a consolidation and bounce?

If, instead, the downtrend in the POSX resumes and it makes its way to sub-100 by mid-month, then the PMs are going to hold...
