The S&P 500 just broke below its July 10th low, at 4390, officially invalidating the uptrend stemming from May 4th.
This is the first time a LOWER LOW will form in nearly 4 months.
Bears have broken below many key levels of support in just a matter of days.

Same day options are blamed for this erratic market. The problem with that argument is that a one day put pushes the market down at the open and up at the close.
But, we're not seeing flat closes. We're seeing down closes.

Since then, the S&P 500 has lost $1.8 TRILLION in market cap.
Then, on August 4th, JP Morgan said they no longer expect a recession.
Since then, the S&P 500 has lost $1.3 TRILLION… pic.twitter.com/K1HHgMWr4C

The facts:
— New car inventory is 71% higher than a year ago.
— New car incentives have increased for 10 consecutive months.
— New car loan rates are at decade highs.
But the big question remains: will this lead to significant downward pressure on prices?

Here's the issue. In 2020 the crash began 30 days after the Jan 17 VIX bottom
Now in 2023 we have an Aug 15 spike however the initial VIX move was Aug 2So if you assume Aug 2 was a 30 day warning then Sep 2 would be the start of the crash. If you assume Aug 15 then Sep 15 is it
