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.

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.

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.

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).

Am long BAC short term, my favorite short squeeze candidate, out on break of double bottom
BAC/WFC/JEF etc filled gap of 9/22 last week, tried to buck trend
XLF/FAS/GS/C etc turned down at gap resistance last week, but just filled it
