Summary

SPX: a fifth consecutive net daily decline, settling -0.4% to 6370. Daily momentum is increasingly negative… with ZERO sign of a floor/turn. Multiple supports 6270/60s… should hold.

NAS: the fifth day lower of six, settling -0.3% to 21100. S/t bearish.

R2K: settling +0.2% to 225.84. Momentum continued to weaken, prone to turning negative on Friday.

Trans: settling -0.1% to 15589. Today’s candle is a hollow red reversal candle, but I’m rather dismissive of it.

VIX’daily

Volatility climbed for the fifth day of six, settling +5.8% to 16.60. Daily momentum has turned positive. Upper bollinger offers the 18/19s… with SPX 6270/60s.
