The bear flag was successful last night in breaking out at around 7pm Mountain Time US. We just barely traded above our crucial 8300 mark in that 4 hour candle. We've traded lower, but haven't completed a 4 hour below 8300 yet so the bulls are fighting hard. It's most likely we'll be floating around this 8500 mark for today. There's too much volatility and too short of a flag pole for another bear flag to have formed. Right now I'm keeping an eye out for patterns.
