Falling ahead of a Thursday

US equity indexes closed significantly lower, SPX -55pts (1.2%) at 4456. Nasdaq comp' -1.3%. Dow -1.3%. The Transports settled -1.8%. R2K -1.7%.

SPX - daily

VIX - daily

Summary

US equities opened moderately lower. There a morning bounce attempt, but the bulls couldn't retake the hourly 10MA, with the market seeing renewed weakness in the late afternoon.

Volatility picked up, the VIX settling +2.7% to 23.57. Tomorrow is a Thursday, which will inherently favour the bears. Soft target is the Monday low of 4424. The bigger issue is how March will settle. Bullish >4500.... bearish <4400. Everything in between is a conflicted mess.
