After opening moderately higher, the main indexes saw increasing weakness across the day, with the sp -23pts @ 1747. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, continue to lead...settling -1.4% and -1.8% respectively. Near term looks weak, with a likely move down to the low sp'1730s.

Summary
The first significant down day in around a month.
Certainly, yesterdays declines seen in the Trans/R2K were indeed a clear warning of trouble in the other headline indexes today.
Despite today's declines, the broader trend REMAINS bullish Unless we put in a few daily closes <sp'1700, I can't take any of this seriously. It is just a retracement - as expected, and the market is just having a minor shake out. Nothing more.
