S&P 500 4594,62 -106,84.
The stock market broke sharply down after the discovery of the variant Omicron rattled the world. In a technically weak environment, we described in our previous comments, and during a shortened trading session, almost nothing could halt the swift selloff. Breadth closed sharply negative: 624 stocks advanced compared to 3589 that settled down. Our capitulation index reached, on a daily basis, extreme readings. Although our indicators improved on a daily basis, they haven’t yet reached crying buys. The pattern of the cumulative advance/decline line on the Nasdaq is worrisome as it is back to the level of December 2020 and still pointing south.
