Summary

It was day of mostly minor chop for equities, seeing an early low of sp'2891, but then clawing back upward into the late afternoon. Volatility was naturally subdued, with the VIX settling -4.0% at 12.09.

*today's price action doesn't fully negate a daily cyclical setup which threatens an overdue 1-2 day mini washout.
