From open to close SPY dropped 225 pts.
Lets see, only 9 days ago, it dropped a similar 250 pts, and rallied almost 250 pts over the next two days.
So yeah, it was too late to short then, and could be too late to short now.
The prev big drop was on 5/24 and the next day was UP
Previous to that the 5/10 drop, and the next day was UP
Previous to that was 4/30, and the next day was UP
Previous to that was 3/13 and the next day was UP
Previous to that was 2/27 and the next day was UP
see a pattern yet? So yes, I say its probably too late too short now. Given this is the market, I could just easily be wrong, but the stats are not in favor of shorting if you go by the latest pattern

This late? Uh, you mean 1% off the all time high? Yeah, way late if you think there's a correction in store.
