The expectation is for more of risk off price action today. Yesterday evening we made the case that the charts are setting up for USD strength, which will likely put pressure on equities.
Our SPX count sees more weakness today in a minor wave b. Support on a move lower comes in at 1188, 1185, and then 1167. It is interesting to be aware that our completed wave a could be altered to see it as a three wave sequence with a completed abc correction. This view is considered the alternate given price action in recent weeks, but it can become the favored count if we get the USD strength that seems to be setting up.

SPX Hourly Candle chart
We maintain that the USD Index is at a critical point. The USD should strengthen significantly based upon our count below. Our bias is very bullish in the short and medium terms, but note that price action must stay above the approximate 76.40 level to maintain the bullish bias.

The AUDUSD is pointing towards USD strength in the short term with minor wave 3 unfolding next. Our wave count will be invalidated if price action pushed above 1.0354.
AUDUSD 4Hour Candle chart
We view Crude Oil as critical to indicate the risk on or risk off market sentiment. Price action continues to hold at the trend line resistance. A break either way will large implications on all the other markets. Our bias is bearish, but our conviction is neutral at this point. If we get the USD strength that seems to be setting up, the crude oil should sell off.
CL Daily Candle chart
The 10 Year Treasury yield is poised to push lower as well, which supports the risk off bias.
