"I am expecting some type of vert short term corrective move up, followed by another sharp down."
What you describe is one of the two outcomes that I see. The other would be an immediate crash taking up to the bottom around 600 SPX within the next 1-3 days.
Once this bottom occurs, I will play a long bias for 6-8 weeks. Da Boys will look to fleece casual investors who are being told that "NOW is the time to be buying!!!"
And they'll do this as much as they can.
Once the volatily wanes and we slip into a slow grinding Bear, it will be time to step aside.
You are right as long as Socialism is in vogue with the current administration, markets are effed.
