SPX / SPY - Running on Fumes

596
SPX / SPY pink channel is at exhaustion.
We either breakout of the blue triangle next week, or start our downward retracement.
If we breakout of the triangle, all short positions should be exited.

Based on the chart, I am staying in this position until next week sometime or 50% loss on this option hedge.
Both were acceptable losses for the payout. This is why small position size is key until trend breaks.

Reasons for my bearish outlook:
Price - Barely broke out of blue ascending wedge. Stopped at SPX 3149.4. This is computer buying, not people. Too precise.
Moving Averages -Short term averages are hugging price. One slip will break these easily. Retest of 128SMA or 200SMA would qualified to go higher.
Volume - No volume at this price. Volume slowly decreasing.
RSI - Forming a double top currently. Last two times this happened went down afterward. In hindsight, timing second RSI failure would have been better entry.
Trend - We are at top of bullish trend and time in bullish trend is exhausted, lacking momentum. Next step is down.
