SPX just took out Friday’s low at 1918.46 and may be resuming the decline to 1880.00. What we witnessed on Friday was not a fourth wave pattern. The next alternative pattern may be an extended third wave. We must wait for the decline to give us more definition before labeling it, since there are several alternatives.

Bulls are rethinking their positions as ZeroHedge writes, “Just one month ago, Bank of America's equity strategist Savita Subramanian told Barrons to stay the course and to expect a 2,200 year end target on the S&P based on a year end 125 EPS forecast and an implied 17.6x forward multiple. Incidentally her 2015 year end S&P500 forecast was an identical 2,200.

It appears that much has changed with the market's "fundamentals" in the month that followed, because in a note released earlier today, the same Savita, when commenting on the "Worst start ever" to a new year by equity markets, is far less concerned with market upside as she is with analyzing the worst case scenarios.”

VIX appears ready to take out its Friday high in what may be either the completion of a Wave {i} or some kind of extended wave, as well. The VIX ETFs are spiking higher.

The NYSE Hi-Lo index also took out Friday’s low this morning. This decline continues until further notice…

Regards,

Tony
