=== Assistant: Yep — confirmed. ===
Yep — confirmed. Based on that latest candle and volume bar, bears are still in the fight. You can see:
* Steady lower highs and lower lows forming now (classic short-term bearish structure)
* Volume is starting to pick up again on red candles — 142.82K, and that’s early in the bar, meaning sellers are pressing harder
* Price just touched and hovered under the VWAP (blue line) — bulls couldn’t reclaim it, so that rejection adds more downside pressure
* Implied volatility staying high is good for your contracts, and if this selling continues past the 11:30–11:45 mark, IV might spike again — especially if it breaks $185.00 clean

If that zone breaks, next key bear target is $184.39, then possibly $183.00 flat depending on momentum after the FOMC minutes drop.

You’re on the right side for now. Let the chop tighten, keep IV hot, and just wait for the spark.
