Summary

US equities opened very significantly lower, pressured via an array of things, not least powerfully lower European markets, concerns over UK/European lockdown restrictions, and increased election turmoil/uncertainty.

There were a few rally attempts, with the market leaning upward into the close, the Nasdaq comp' notably close to breakeven. 

Volatility picked up, with the VIX settling +7.5% to 27.78. The daily index and vix candles are supportive to the notion of a 1-2 day equity bounce.
