Lets take our regular look at six of the main US indexes
sp'500
The SPX broke a new multi-month high of 3021.99, but settled -15pts (0.5%) at 2992. Weekly price momentum ticked higher for a fourth week, but remains fractionally negative. S/t outlook threatens downside to tag the upper end of secondary gap to the 2920s, and that would likely equate to VIX near the key 20 threshold. Right now, I don't see any price action <2900 in the near term.
Nasdaq comp'
The Nasdaq settled -59pts (0.7%) to 8117. Weekly price momentum remains fractionally negative.
Dow
The mighty Dow cooled by -284pts (1.0%) to 26935. Weekly price momentum still managed to turn positive though. Note the July historic high of 27398.
NYSE comp'
The master index settled -30pts (0.2%) to 13093. Weekly price momentum continues to tick upward.
R2K
The R2K settled -18pts (1.2%) to 1559. Price has notably reversed on the underside of m/t rising trend, and it leans s/t bearish. First support in the 1520s.
Trans
The 'old leader' - Transports, settled -359pts (3.3%) to 10454. Weekly support in the 10300s.

The two leaders - Transport and R2K, lead the way lower, whilst the NYSE comp' was most resilient.
