VIX'daily3
Summary
So... a daily net decline for most indexes, but still... nothing significant.. not least reflected in the VIX which remains very subdued.
Best guess... a retrace to the sp'1980/50 zone.... which might equate to VIX 18/20 by first week of December.
Looking ahead
There is actually a great deal of data in the early morning...
CPI, Weekly jobless claims, PMI manu', Phil' fed, existing home sales, leading indi'
*Two fed officials are on the loose, not least the Dudley... Mr Market will be listening

A retrace to sp'1910?
A regular reader (hello JC) reminded me of the 1910 level, which would be a 61% fib retrace. That is a mere 0.5% above the CRITICAL 1900 threshold. All those touting a giant expanding wedge should be desperate for a break <1900 before year end... which if it occurred would re-open up the original downside target.. somewhere in the 1750/1650 area.

The problem is.. how are we going to break 7% lower to 1910, never mind actually breaking and holding under 1900? I just can't see it, not least with the BoJ putting a bid under (quite literally) the entire world equity market.
As ever... one day at a time... but for now... I can't see a retrace of much significance.
yours...... depressingly... 'broadly bullish' into late 2015/early 2016.
