SPX

1/18 – The major indices had a large down day per the following closes: INDU - 571.57; S&P 500 - 86.33; and the NASDAQ Composite - 335.83.

Looking ahead - We had a big down day on Tuesday as forecasted and in line with a change in trend from Friday’s rally. Now, the market must make a low by the first half of Wednesday or it may be going much lower. This is the moment of truth. Longer-term, the fact that the S&P closed near it’s low of the day, rather than reversing early in the day, maybe an indicating that the market has lost some of its resiliency. Whichever trend is established on Wednesday is likely to continue into the end of this week.

The NOW Index is in the NEUTRAL ZONE.

The market is buying everything again but is it dancing on a borrowed floor

The market has a short memory and a fast trigger finger. Last week’s liquidation barely cooled before risk came roaring back, pushing the S&P toward record territory and reinstalling Big Tech as the engine of choice. This is not discovery. It is re exposure.
