Well, I posted on the topic of a trend day to the upside; I guess it's only fair that the market show us some dynamics of a candidate trend day to the downside.
What are the tells?
* Inability to take out overnight highs on economic news;
* Break below the opening price range (blue line);
* NYSE TICK consistently negative;
* Intermarket themes show strong dollar, weak commodities;
* S&P 500 sectors consistently down from their opening prices;
* S&P 500 Index trading consistently below its volume-weighted average price;
* Volume in ES futures consistently hitting bids over lifting offers;
* Price consolidations at successively lower prices (blue arrows above).
If this is a trend day to the downside, the Thursday lows should now act as resistance for any midday bounces.
