Indices Barely Down, Stocks Murdered

The SP500 went 109 days without a negative -1% close; we ended the day down -1.24%. Now, -1.24% does not seem like a lot.

Spikes in stocks down -4% or more usually lead to a short-term bounce, but then it is typically followed by a lower low on the indices days later.

We also had 1,121 new 1-month lows, 558 3-month lows, and 572 new year-to-date lows. The measly -1.24% loss in the SP500 doesn't tell you a quarter of the story.
