12pm update – lunchtime red

US equities are very significantly lower. VIX has printed 17.01… nearing last Friday’s high. WTIC has clawed into the $78s, helped by a weaker dollar.

Summary

Biggest down day… since at least April.

Support 5440/30s…. then seeking a bounce to 5610. The latter would make for a key lower high. To be clear… I would not see today’s drop as a valid buying opp…. and more focus on seeing the bounces as shortable.


notable stock: TSLA

The bulk of the decline has clearly occurred, with the current candle increasingly spiky from red gap.

notable Dow component: AAPL

Just lower with the sector/main market.

notable fin: DB

Buyback suspended… lousy earnings, and issues with CRE.

notable semicon: AMD

Recent structure was a bear flag from the 200dma… now its open air to orange gap.

Time for lunch
