SPX - daily

VIX - daily


Summary

US equities opened a little higher, but all the bulls could manage was 4611, before the market swung lower. The afternoon saw considerable chop, but leaning on the weaker side, with a pretty ugly closing hour

Volatility remains elevated, the VIX settling +4.6% to 23.85. We're yet to see equity 'capitulation', and VIX could easily spike into the 30s if sp'4400s.
