Closing Brief

US equities broke a new cycle low of sp'1926, with a typical latter day rally to 1952, settling u/c @ 1946. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled 0.8% and 1.0% respectively. Near term outlook is for another wave of downside, with a full test of the August low of sp'1904.

Summary

*I went short the market from sp'1948 in the 2pm hour, am holding overnight.

So... we broke another new low today, and this was somewhat confirmed by a higher high in the VIX.

With the R2K failing to hold the critical 1080s, the bears have achieved another set of victories today.

Outlook is bearish.. and I see no reason why we won't hit the lower weekly bollinger, which right now is around sp'1904.
