Per yesterday's video, the 60-minute chart showed upside promise, and despite a bearish price pattern on the daily chart, our momentum indicators read bullish there as well. But when we got to the weekly and monthly analyses, well... not a good look...
Recall last Thursday's monster rally that saw the S&P up 2.47%.... only to be followed by Friday's 3.63% drubbing. Well, yesterday's massive 2.99% rally is being met this morning (so far) with a 1.89% take back.
Not predicting anything here, but yesterday's rally halted right on the spot where the bulls and bears have been duking it out of late -- right where of late the bears have been holding the line...
Stay tuned...
Asian equities, again, saw mostly red overnight, with 8 of 14 open (2 were shuttered) markets we track closing lower.
While Europe's seeing mostly green so far this morning, with 14 of the 19 bourses we follow trading up as I type.
US major averages look to be giving back a chunk of yesterday's gains: Dow down 506 points (1.49%), SP500 down 1.89%, SP500 Equal Weight down 1.42%, Nasdaq 100 down 2.96%, Nasdaq Comp down 2.86%, Russell 2000 down 1.99%.
The VIX sits at 27.34, up 7.51%.
Oil futures are up 2.84%, gold's up 0.39%, silver's down 0.82%, copper futures are down 0.32% and the ag complex (DBA) is up 0.32%.
The 10-year treasury is down (yield up) and the dollar is up 0.86%.
Among our 37 core positions (excluding cash and short-term bond ETF), only 5 -- Albemarle, carbon credits, gold, ag futures and energy stocks -- are in the green so far this morning. The losers are being led lower by semiconductor stocks, solar stocks, Latin American equities, metals miners and tech stocks.
