Weakness Continues as Markets Test Key Support

Over the past several weeks we’ve been pointing out cracks developing beneath the surface of the market. Last week those cracks widened as major indices began breaking below important intermediate trend levels.

In this week’s video we review:

The S&P 500 testing the 200-day moving average

Sector rotation and defensive positioning

Breadth and participation indicators

Key economic events to watch next week
