Sellers Step Up The Pace
It was 2001 all over again as lead indices registered 3% losses on a day of solid selling and registered distribution. The 'bear flags' are history but their effects are still very much in effect. Worst affected was the Semiconductor Index as it gave up nearly 7% in a move which has the makings of a measured move lower. The initial target is 1,115 which doesn't look entirely unreasonable after today. There was nothing bullish as relative performance (vs the Nasdaq 100) accelerated lower.
