Summary
Yesterday saw a weak bounce/retrace, of Wednesday afternoon’s smack down. The fact the SPX settled red merely gave extra confidence to the notion the market is s/t broken.
Overnight futures have been increasingly weak, we’re set to open -55pts or so… to around 5810, which will largely fill Trump/orange gap.
The decisive break <5840 merits alarm bells, and offers around 5400… before year end. The latter would decisively take out ALL aspects of m/t support, and would be suggestive 6099 is a m/t top… just ahead of the inauguration.
Things sure have turned interesting since Wed’2pm.
