SPX -90.66, 7,408, opened and closed lower, formed a spinning top candle pattern that closed just below short-term support.  SPY 742.56 will be the high of the low day, if Thursday becomes the low day tomorrow.  The SPX and NDX formed range bound spinning tops in their 7-week sideways channels.  Breadth weakened as decliners led on both the NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges.

SPX advancers: LMT ALLE URI TMO DGX DHR RTX CSX HON ROP NSC.
SPX decliners: TSLA TMUS ROL DOV GOOGL GL CMCSA LUV DECK AKAM HBAN.

SK Hynix ADR, SKHY, closed 169.50, +2.56% on its tenth trading day.  IPO was at 149.  SK Hynix is a profitable company with over $65 billion in revenues (larger than SPCX) and $28 billion in annual profit.  The ADR is speculative because as a new IPO does not have a track record to evaluate.

SpaceX, SPCX, closed at 118.24, +2.59%. Our view is that SPCX, with no earnings, is an overvalued speculation.  IPO at 135 on June 12.
