Summary

*closing action.. new intraday lows.. as the sellers finally appeared....breaking the Thursday low.
--

.. and October comes to a close. Essentially, all indexes proceeded straight up.. resulting in rather extreme net monthly gains.

Best guess remains.. a moderate retrace to around sp'2020/00 zone.. by mid November. Broadly.. the bigger bearish scenario is off the table.
