SPY Attitude:  (The bear is in Charge! – Timing is everything.) 
The Bulls were able to defend $184.75 printing a dragonfly/hammer candle, and it is possible that this candle and the bull action yesterday could cause a very small relief rally, maybe to $189.05, but I doubt seriously the bear is ready to give in.  With nothing
