Summary
A rather important third day to the downside for most of the big indexes. We saw a lower low..and a lower high..there is nothing bullish here.
With the weekly charts clearly broken, equity bears are starting to show some consistency - something that has been lacking in over a year.
It increasingly looks, that one way or another..we're going to test the 200 day MA on the sp'...right now, that is 1702 - and still slowly rising.

*As at 7.30pm EST, AAPL, -$44, (-8%) @ $506. Maybe if AAPL started losing money like AMZN or TWTR, it too could have a PE of 100...or 1000 ? Crazy times...crazy valuations.
