Hold on for Dear Life to This Part of the Market
The transports, simply put, are likely to be the bears' best piece of evidence that a true market correction is imminent. After bouncing late-last week and galvanizing bulls for a noter "here we go again rally off a false breakdown," the Dow Jones Transportation Average is back below 8,600, a multi-quarter support area.

While the market drifts into the afternoon, crude oil is confirming suspicions that the recent breakout was slippery. On the updated daily chart for the USO, crude oil ETF, note price gapping down out of the highlighted pennant (purple lines).

From Russia, Fickle with Love
Small caps are lagging the market this morning, as overnight strength in the futures has been fading. Still, pockets of momentum are playing out, such as in a the ESPR long we have been playing over on the private Twitter feed.
