Summary
Really sharp move at the opening, it went vertical for some time. First short opportunity there, and covered after the high of the last bar was broken. Second short in the afternoon, SPY is consolidating - we have a push just below the morning high and start to have lower lows. I took the second trade, sold half after the first push, and the rest after breaking the high of the first green bar. SPY 5m right corner for reference.
