It was a green start to the week, although that was put in jeopardy

Last week was a volatile one for markets. It started with a sell-off, followed up by a mid-week rally, only to sell-off again at the end of the week with the SPY down 2.5% on the week and the VIX rising nearly 22%. I started dabbling in puts Thursday and Friday and will continue to watch 181.50 and 180.13 on the SPY as possible support areas. For now, will be keeping trades small and for short periods of time. This week will go a long way in deciding the trend for the market, whether we have a short pullback, or whether this is the start of a correction.

Yesterday was a very important day for my overall market sentiment
