Weekend update - US equity indexes

It was a bearish week for US equity indexes, with net weekly declines ranging from -8.8% (Trans), -5.5% (Nasdaq comp'), -4.8% (SPX), -4.5% (R2K), to -4.1% (Dow, NYSE comp').

Lets take our regular look at six of the main US indexes

sp'500

Nasdaq comp'

Dow

R2K

NYSE comp'

Trans

Summary

All six US equity indexes were net lower for the week.

The transports lead the way down, with the Dow and NYSE comp' most resilient.

The weekly candles are all bearish engulfing. Even if the market manages a 1-3 day bounce, this week's lows can be expected to be taken out before end month.

More broadly, all six US equity indexes are trading under their respective monthly 10MA, with negative momentum. By definition, all six indexes are m/t bearish.

Final notes

The window of opportunity to prepare for winter 2022/23 has almost closed.

The chess pieces are in position, with a high threat of a 'wild card' geo-political event.

If you think the June low of sp'3636 is going to hold, you're at the wrong webpage.
