The markets continued their slide yesterday, with the S & P 500 closing another 13.78 points to the downside.? It closed at 2,097.94. The implication now is if the S & P 500 closes under 2,109.00 today, then I would expect a move down to 2,062.50.
The short term charts continue to remain oversold.? A bounce would not be unexpected; however, I would expect that any rally would ultimately fail.? 2,125 would be a level to look for a failure on a rally.
The markets have not come close to registering a climax volume day during this sell off which tells me there should be more room on the downside.
Also, the Fed announcement yesterday resulting in them standing pat on interest rates. Not quite a shocking announcement as I don?t think anyone expected rates to rise before the election.
The much more exciting event yesterday was game 7 of the World Series, won by the Cubs.
FB shares are down pre open based on their earnings.
Friday we will get the Non Farm Payroll which will be closely watched by investors to help give clarity if a rate hike is coming next month.
Continue to monitor the levels for entry points.

Minor level - 13.28
Major level - 12.50
The VIX will need two closes above 19.53 to move up to 21.88. Yesterday, the VIX closed at 19.34, so it still needs two closes above 19.53.? There is resistance around the 19.50 area for the VIX.? A reversal down should produce a bounce in the market.

Minor level - 66.41

The XLE stopped at 67 before closing at 67.87 yesterday.? A close today under 67.96 and I would expect the XLE to test 65.63.
