Whilst the broader market is seeing some mixed chop, there are significant declines of -1.4% in the Transports. No doubt higher oil prices (+1.6%) are an issue today, but it is notable that the Trans has been stuck since the spiky black-fail candle (Trans @ 9310) of Nov'28th.
Trans, daily
Summary
Other than the weakness in the Transports, it remains a pretty dull start to the week.
VIX is higher by around 3%.. but remains in the very low teens.
Notable gains, Ford (F), +1.2%, daily
Key resistance remains the $18 threshold. A monthly close in the 18s would be hyper bullish, but that looks out of range until mid summer... when the main market might be maxing out (at least for a little)

VIX update from Mr T... who needs to adjust his mic.
