Historically, the day after Labor Day is a weak day for the markets.
Tuesday’s session followed the norm.

- Dow Jones -0.6%
- Nasdaq -0.1%
- S&P 500 -0.4%
- Russell 2000 -2.1%
Sector Round Up
The sectors were split … with a bearish tilt.
Just 3 of 11 ended the day higher.

- Technology (XLK) +0.4%
- Consumer Discretionary (XLY) +0.1%
At the bottom…

Technicals:
According to the chart, yesterday’s selling was insignificant.
The S&P 500 is holding well above all local and long-term support levels.
Remember this … markets don’t move in straight lines.
Your latest readout…
- The VIX is holding near 3-year lows
- RSI levels are all neutral
- The put-to-call ratio is oversold
Timing:
A few former meme stocks report earnings today.
- Express (EXPR) reports premarket
- GameStop (GME) reports after the close
Both stocks are well off their meme-mania highs. But you never know what might happen in an earnings call.
We’ll be watching the market’s reaction.
