[Chart 1 green] wave 4 down, now around fib-382 retrace,
[Chart 1 blue] wave 2 down with likely more downside potential or the start of a larger reversal,
or to a lesser extent
[Chart 2 gray] continued consolidation in the form of a triangle or expanded flat in SPX (and flat in some other indexes, see weekend commentary).
