Market Summary
The ES1 Index (Generic 1st Month S&P 500 E-mini) lost 14bps yesterday, closing at 6881. Price action was negative. The early session high (ref 6932) faded hard heading into the cash close, testing and holding support at 6862 with a low of 6864. The 6862 level has been a focus for the past two weeks; it is key and must hold. Momentum and trend indicators broke down, confirming price weakness. That all said, both my Spot VIX and VIX Term Structure signals remain “risk on”. I have continued to believe and write that there will be two main themes as we head into the end of the year; unusually high price volatility and risk skewed to the upside. I will maintain that view unless the 6862 level breaks. If we see this level break on an intra-day and closing basis I would expect the index to test 6730 in very short order.📈
