The SPX Premarket is only a point higher after a failed ramp attempt. A decline beneath yesterday’s low at 2177.85 breaks the first support line. The second is also at Short-term support at 2168.39. Both VIX and the Hi-Lo are far enough away from their triggers that it is likely that the second break may also correspond with their trigger levels.

Yesterday’s trading had the lowest volume of the year.

ZeroHedge reports, “S&P500 index futures were unchanged (up less than 0.1%) following another modest, low-volume levitation in European, Asian shares in a mostly eventless overnight session; oil comes off following gaining overnight with WTI trading just around $43.”

US Productivity plunged for the third consecutive quarter.

VIX is still within its Declining Wedge formation. It will take a rally above the upper trendline or a breakout above the Wave 4 high at 14.24 to get a change in signal.

TNX appears to have completed its Wave [b] retracement. It has a hair trigger at its 50-day Moving Average at 15.78 and the trendline is just beneath it at 15.60. This decline may signal money flowing out of equities into treasuries again.

ZeroHedge reports, “While most sellside strategists take the recent rebound in US Treasury yields as the latest confirmation that the global rates rally is on its last legs (even as corporate bond issuance is approaching never before seen records, as the global chase for yields comes to the US), one bank refuses to change its long-term forecast on the 10Y, and still sees the benchmark US security reaching 1.00% in the not too distant future.”

USD reversed fro, its trendline yesterday, signaling an end of its retracement. It may also be ready to decline to its Cycle Bottom support at 92.71 in Wave (iii).

The combination of a declining dollar and declining yields may propel the decline in SPX.

Regards,

Tony
