Russell 2000 Enters 10% "Correction" As S&P, Dow, Transports Break Crucial Technical Support

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The small-cap Russell 2000 is down over 10% from its July highs (down 6.2% year-to-date) as VIX is back over 17. Treasury yields continue to collapse (down 8-9bps today alone) with 10Y trading with a 2.40% handle (and 3Y under 1% again). All other major equity indices are also red from the Russell 2000 peak in July and have broken various key technical levels today - S&P below 100DMA, Dow Industrials below 100DMA, Dow Transports At 100DMA, and Nasdaq broken well below its 50DMA. Russell is back at levels first seen a year ago.

Once again post EU Close - Silver, Crude and stocks tumbled in sync...

Russell in correction...

 

Other major equity indices breaking key technicals...

 

Financials continue to catch down to credit...

 

and Treasury Yields are collapsing....

 

An odd reaction by bonds which "are in a bubble" and stocks which "aren't"

dallas. dallas, we have a problem.

but seriously, in the new bad is good paradigm, shouldn't ebola in US be the most bullish signal ever? i am shocked the market is not up like 4,000,000% today.

Again,  it's the 125 DMA to watch for breaking below now.

http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/index/SPX/charts?symb=SPX&countryco...

I suspect the market will bounce right around 1940 on the S&P before smashing below that level soon.

 

But that's where all you Fonzamooktards can all start blabbing BTFD again!

125 is useless, you want 80, 200 and how consumer spending compression collapses as this is volatility led, and thus trades on option related perceptions.

 

Anyone who says strong dollar is good for the bull run is full of shit, if the US was consuming from the world markets, then yes; you purchase more, however the US has not been a growth market in 15 years, ceding that title to China and has been a service/merchant economy (and thus, will get clobbered hardcore)

I can see this consumption led demand, started by Dr. Copper, moving through energy/oil complex pushing into the MOMO soon. Smells all like June 2007 again, which is just what ECB/NYFR need to justify a fresh twist control.

edit: lol at all those guys who said go buy Euro markets and leveraged debt products with emerging market "growth". All we need is the new "Mexico" or "Argentina" moment to really kick this thing into overdrive.

How droll, you argued using a grunt.

Explain, if you are qualified to, what does the 125 the 80 and the 200 day line mean. Go ahead, we're waiting big fish.

If not, go back to your E-trade terminal and mash some GLD some more.

Looks like 1945 is the low for today and so here's the bounce before plummeting into the abyss in the next few days

Why didn't you do it when the market was making "record highs'. Also, options are not appropriate instruments for individual investors. you should be operating in the futures market.

Due to slower than expected sales and recalls that call for improved quality control, Honda will cut daily production in Japan approximately 20% in October and November, Nikkei reports.

Thanks for the insight on the market there.

Maybe the stock and bond markets have become a kind of Klein bottle. Perhaps both are in a a bubble, but liquidity moves from one to the other but never leaves the system.  It's probably not an apt analogy, but I wanted to show how smart I am by using "Klein bottle" in a sentence.

Too much in too few years

George : Yeah, I should do the opposite, I should.

Jerry : If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right.

George : Yes, I will do the opposite. I used to sit here and do nothing, and regret it for the rest of the day, so now I will do the opposite, and I will do something!
