Closing Brief

US equities saw one of the strongest intraday swings in some years. The sp'500 swung from a morning high of 2056... breaking lower to 2008 @ 2.30pm.... clawing higher into the close, settling -5pts @ 2023. The two leaders - Trans/R2K, settled -0.5% and u/c respectively.

R2K, 5min


Summary

*a fractional net gain for the R2K, but still... that was one nasty drop from the earlier high of 1200.

... without question.... the opening gains were no surprise... but the utter failure of them were.

It was one hell of a day in market land... and price action is now leaning bearish.

Price structure is something of a mess. The one thing bulls still have is that the rising trend - seen on daily charts, is just about holding.

Any break under today's low of 2008, would bode for a move lower to the 200dma... in the mid 1960s.
