© 2025

SPX +42.61, 5,405, opened higher, some profit takers sold, and the SPX fluctuated in a range, however institutional buyers established both a higher high and higher low for the day.  Monday was a bounce continuation day.  

Breadth strengthened as exchange advancers increased.  Net change advancing capital in both the NDX and SPX, was greater than net change declining capital. 

The DJI, 40,524 +0.78%, opened higher, traded in a range and closed higher.  NDX +0.57% closed higher.

VIX closed meaningfully lower at 30.89 but remained at a high level. Look for more fluctuation, stay focused on the trend.
