Summary

*the two leaders, Trans/R2K are notably weak, -0.5%

Hard to say if sp'1991 is a key cycle top.. but right now... you can see obvious downside fib' target of around 1925... or 1905/00.

It will only be with a daily close <1900.. that a 'crash' call would become valid. Until then.... equity bears should be highly cautious.
