Closing Brief

The main indexes closed very weak, sp -20pts (-1.1%) @ 1782. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, both settled -1.6%. There looks to be further downside early Thursday, before normal service resumes. The end year target in the 1830/50 zone..remains.

Summary

With the failed bull flag early this morning, the bears took control, and today was probably the best downside we've seen in quite a few months.

This is probably just the C wave of an ABC that I had originally looked for last week, only to scrub yesterday (yeah.. as I titled it..'permabear kiss of death').

Best guess...further downside by Thursday, 11am...to the sp'1774/72 - as based on the previous ABC down cycle of late Oct/early November.

To those on the short side today...well done!

..I just pray to the gods..you all get a decent exit early tomorrow.
