Technicals:
Markets have posted three days of losses since the Fed decision last week.
But fear has yet to emerge.
The VIX climbed above 16 but is holding below 18. Until the fear gauge cracks 20, the bulls are likely to maintain control, and the dip will eventually be bought.
This morning, markets remain very oversold as we search for signs of a bottom.
