I don't know about tops or bottoms but this is some mighty fine trading.
I hate to bring fundamentals into this, but this did after all start after Yellen spoke about unwinding the balance sheet. Its the time when I think news does matter, and whatever the chart was showing before, technically, completely changes. It would be impossible for volente to know what she was saying.

At the same time, markets may have reacted just the same if she said nothing about the balance sheet because we were already at some resistance level. Who knows.

That is why i I don't hold a position into Fed announcements or minute releases. Even if your direction is good, it's too easy to get shaken out. There are usually good entries after it settles down a bit and this afternoon was a great example.

swinging long in a downtrend isn't a good idea
