UPDATE: 2:55 PM
This morning's gains fading fast. At this rate, we'll have a pretty bearish candle pattern on the day, too.
UPDATE: 12:00 PM
SPX has fallen back to a 5-pt gain. Meanwhile, the EUR/USD slide has continued. The 60-min chart broke decisively through its 200-period moving average and RSI trend line. It shows very substantial negative divergence.
DX, on the other hand, is testing its 200-period moving average to the upside, and is showing substantial positive divergence.
More later.
UPDATE: 11:00 AM
Quick update on EUR/USD. First, the big picture:
And, the close up, showing the bearish Bat pattern playing out on the 60-min chart:
And, here's VIX, poking way down deep into its lower Bollinger band, and completing a Bat pattern on the daily chart.
This morning's spurt actually improves the look of the yellow channel lines I drew yesterday. The lower parallel trend line does a better job of connecting the previous highs and lows.
The 5-min RSI we were watching seems to have given up on the TL and is heading back down. In short, the market is feeling very toppy here.

We completed the Bat more precisely. It called for 1254.44 and yesterday's high was 1251.09. This morning's high so far is 1257.3. The little Gartley fell by the wayside, and a bearish Butterfly took its place.
We have negative divergence setting up on every time frame short of the daily chart.
And, so far, the failure of even the 5-min RSI to break its resistance trend line.
A clean break to the upside would be a warning that there's more upside left. Otherwise, we may have just seen the top.
More later.
