Closing Brief

US equity indexes closed significantly lower, sp -24pts @ 1942 (intra low 1929). The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled lower by -2.5% and -1.5% respectively. Near term outlook offers a test of the sp'1900 threshold.. which will likely not hold.

Summary

*closing hour... moderate bounce... but in the scheme of things... nothing for the equity bulls to get excited about.
--

So... a sig' net daily decline, a day for the bears, not least those who bravely (or recklessly?) were short overnight.

Broadly.. the bigger weekly/monthly cycles are absolutely crystal clear.. we're headed lower into Oct'.

--
*yours truly is short overnight... AAPL, INTC, SPY, and long-VIX.

Seeking a provisional exit in the 1900/1870 zone.. which seems entirely viable before the weekend.

more later.. on the VIX
