I'd take a look at the Russell 2000, the US Dollar and the VIX

It doesn't help that Russia is launching Hypersonic missiles. What a crime we are risking our lives over someone else's border but don't care about our own.

before 2020, it's on video tape. All the bigshots met, I believe it was at the UN, and they said openly the US is a dangerous country and it needed to be dealt with. I think Jeff Sachs said esp dangerous with Trump as President. This not long after Trump said "we are a sovereign nation and we will never hand it over to a supranational govermental body"  I thnk that is almost exact. Anyway, they have been dealing with the USA accordingly since then. I believe the Covid shutdown was partly done as cover to rig the election so they could put in someone, BIDEN, who would bring the US into conformaty with their world view. The last thing in their way is RUSSIA. That's what the Ukranian war is about

I would also look at the banking index. crushing moves. scary. I warned about banks and the system. I've been too freaking lazy to get all my money out of New York.

the banking index has already broken thru that vaunted Oct/Dec bottom

Take a look at a weekly chart of the Russell 2000 over the last 4 years. See it is leading, how close it is to break the great Oct Low. Less than 10% decline now to break those lows

Quite amazing they took naz100 +350 overnite, took that all back and touched Friday's lows and then  back up around  350. Meanwhile russell 2000 is not impressed. 

Dunno what happens short tern but The crash is not over. I said sell the bounces

Did ANYONE learn anything from 2008? I predicted that one too and was in Nyc when it happened. Was so surreal

Anyone looking at russell 2000 today? Me thinks this all rolls over

12 noon and I am just now logging into my trading platform. Saw the Futures way up last night and heck they were down then way back up this morning. I thought I'd be looking at some losses on my 130% short position but low and behold, I"m at a small profit for the day, at the moment at least. and it does appear the rollover  stated above may be happening now but it's (QQQ) above 291, so still above the important 290 area. so that is support.

Russell 2000 is down, depending on what measure you use around 1.3% DOWN I said but attempting to hold very important support. If that support doesn't hold then one of the broader measures of the market and the real economy will be testing the vaunted (declared THE BOTTOM) lows of Oct/Jan

Russell very strong today but the DOW surprisingly weak

possibly stupidly added to NVDA short at 241 a little while ago. moving against me
