The stock market indices opened with big gaps to the downside as European and foreign markets were weak on the Greek situation. They made lower lows early on in the first half hour, and then snapped back in a 3-wave advance only to back off mid-day. When that retest seemed to be successful, they came on and made nominal new highs, but when they couldn’t follow through, and failed at declining topsline, they rolled over and sold off the rest of the afternoon to give back all of the rally, basically, to close near the session lows on the Nasdaq 100 and the S&P 500. Net of the day, the Dow was down 125.10 at 12,695.50, the S&P 500 down 15.04 at 1338.35, less than 2 points off the low, and the Nasdaq 100 up 25.70 at 2590.28, less than 3 points off its low. Advance-declines were worse that 5 to 1 negative on the New York Stock Exchange, and worse than 3 to 1 negative on Nasdaq. Up/down volume was nearly 7 to 1 negative on New York, total volume 765 million. Nasdaq traded 1.62 billion, and had a 3 to 1 negative volume ratio. Technicals were quite negative, but not as extreme as we’ve seen. That may mean that we need to go lower. Closing off the lows, not far off key short-term support could mean much lower levels, and that the S&P 500 has actually cracked here. As of this morning, the NDX hasn’t confirmed yet, but if we get a confirmation tomorrow morning, particularly at the opening, I think we’re going to go sharply lower still, despite the oversold conditions, perhaps.
