AIUI there are now only 3 world stock markets above the 200d ma & one is the US.

SPX 2767 Will support at 2700 hold or will it also retreat into the consolidation zone?

There are reasons to be bullish into 2019
1) Corporate buybacks & m&a activity are Hoovering up stock

2) Fiscal spending in 2019
3) Not enough complacency
4) Junk bonds still outperforming investment grade bonds

Against this,
1) US ETF investors seem to have had the heebie jeebies from end aug to now

2) If passive investors panic then the spx could drop very fast due to etf liquidations of very highly rated stocks - who would buy AMZN on a pe of 100+

If prices stabilise then this could be a buying opportunity; the next few days might give some clues.
