Daily Index Cycle update

US indexes closed somewhat weak, sp -16pts @ 1867. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled lower by -0.2% and -1.6% respectively. It remains a mixed picture, but Yellen might well be able to 'inspire' the market tomorrow for a renewed push higher.

Summary

The discrepancy between the two market leaders - Trans/R2K, is unusually large. By default, I'd have to side with the Trans 'old leader', but the R2K is close to taking out the recent lows.

Underlying MACD (blue bar histogram) cycle for all indexes is rolling over, and bodes badly for the equity bulls this Wednesday.

In many ways..it is now a case of whether Yellen can inspire the market to rally, otherwise...last Monday's spike floor of sp'1850 is going to fail..and that would really change the bigger trends.
