Summary

US equities opened on a weak note, and whilst there were a few bounce attempts, they were brief and weak, with the SPX spiraling to break a new cycle low of 3827. The mid/late afternoon saw a choppy rally, stalling from around the hourly 10MA.

Volatility was subdued, the VIX settling -0.9% to 22.62.

With a settlement under last week's low of sp'3918, this week's candle was bearish engulfing. 


We've the first red Elder candle since October, and its bearish engulfing. The implications are rather massive. More on this... in the weekend post.
