It was a weak performance in the US equity markets after the Labor Day week-end with the SPX (S&P 500 Index) down ~1.5% from last week’s close: This leaves prices in a pendant pattern bounded by the upper 2 SD boundary of the short-term bearish channel (blue line) and the lower 1 SD boundary of […]
