Gap up above Friday's range, but I'm not sure if the gap will be filled or not, the chart so far looks like a Bear Flag. A 90 degree up from here is what bulls need, let's see.

Today, VIX will probably fall under the presently supportive Fan Line and inside the Acceleration Band (blue).
Next serious support ~36.

the open, a little stretched, so should be a pullback or consolidation here.

Heading into the last 5 days of September with the month currently down -6.77%, I took a look at SPX performance into month end – looks like the trend has been a reversion into the last 5 days of the month…
For the last 4 months in a row, SPX performance in the last 5 days of the month has been the opposite of MTD performance up to then – aka, if SPX is down MTD, SPX is up over the last 5 days (and vice versa). Back to January, this has happened 7 of 8 months with April the only outlier (MTD perf was up, 5 day perf was up). On top of that, beta moves accordingly in every instance – if SPX is up over the last 5 days of the month, RTY outperforms and vice versa (SPX down, RTY underperforms)…not as strong for NDX with this correlation only true 50% of the time. Data below.
SPX Performance RTY Performance NDX Performance
Month MTD Up To the Last 5 Days (%) Last 5 Days (%) MTD Up To the Last 5 Days (%) Last 5 Days (%) MTD Up To the Last 5 Days (%) Last 5 Days (%)
Jan 2.64 -0.37 -0.56 0.25 3.72 -0.8
Feb 4.42 -1.18 6.86 -1.36 4.85 -1.73
Mar -1.32 1.23 -0.77 3.24 -1.65 1.16
Apr 0.87 1.96 0.25 2.32 1.64 1.13
May -3.39 2.11 -5.92 4.21 -3.63 2.41
June -4.59 2.89 -5.38 3.08 -4.95 3.11
July 1.85 -3.92 1.74 -5.32 4.49 -2.75
Aug -8.87 3.51 -13.11 4.94 -9.22 4.47
Sep -6.77 ? -10.23 ? -1.52 ?
Looking at 10yr treasury yields (-37bps MTD), no real trend in performance into month-end, but figured it was worth sharing the data…Performance over the last 2 months has been correlated (10yr yield down MTD and down over the last 5 days), but back to Jan, performance is correlated 50% of the time. Data below.
10yr Yields
Month MTD Up To the Last 5 Days (net chg) Last 5 Days (net chg)
Jan 0.111 -0.034
Feb 0.217 -0.16
Mar -0.023 0.066
Apr -0.079 -0.105
May -0.158 -0.068
June -0.149 0.248
July -0.198 -0.166
Aug -0.497 -0.076
Sep -0.374 ?

Gold hit $1550 in overnight trading. That is a commonly mentioned support level for a medium term correction. Let's see if it will revisit that level this week (or today).

pretty big drop in new home sales...New U.S. home sales fall 2.3% in August to 295,000
that should help fill the gap.
