SPX - daily

VIX - daily

Summary

US equities opened on a moderately positive note, but the gains were shaky from the start, with indexes quickly turning negative. Price action into the afternoon was increasingly weak, as every rally attempt is failing.

Volatility picked up, the VIX settling +7.7% to 31.02. Tomorrow is a Thursday, and whilst we might open positive, the bears could seek psy'4K before end month.
