Technical Commentary:
The SPY formed a bearish engulfing pattern above its 30 DMA, the VIX moved up and did confirm the SPY move down.

The ES closed down 8.75 at 1,406.75…NQ futures closed down 7.50 at 2,670.25.

The weight of the evidence continues to suggest the Nov 16 low is likely to hold and Monday’s price action on relatively lighter volume suggests a pause/pullback is here prior to a continuation to higher levels .

The Euro closed up 65 pips at 1.3051 on Monday.

TNX, interest rates moved higher and TLT, bonds moved up 11 cents.  XLF was 6cents lower at 15.70.
