NDX, RUT, SPX, DJI Closed Higher...VIX Closed Lower...Breadth Strengthened...


© 2026


SPX +24.42, 7,677, closed above the high of the following candle, a hammer-like candle with lower shadow suggesting intraday support on Monday.  Breadth strengthened as advancers led on both the NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges.  The VIX closed higher, suggesting that institutions were unwinding hedges.

SPCX closed at 137.95, +2.95, on volume of 53 million shares. Our view is that SPCX, with no earnings, remains an overvalued speculation.  IPO at 135 on June 12.
