Divergences Amid the Deluge

Markets have been hit with a deluge of ugly news this morning, even the one piece of somewhat positive news (the EU Commission’s statement that it “was willing to envisage a banking union”) was quickly downplayed and sold into. Despite this deluge of negativity as $EURUSD and US Treasury yields make new lows virtually every minute I noticed something interesting – US equities ($ES_F $IWM $QQQ $SPY) are still well above their May 18th lows and the $VIX has not made a higher high….yet:

The S&P 500 may very well be in the process of forming a bear flag from which it will soon break down, however, during tumultuous market periods it is important to maintain a level head and look for clues/divergences amid the mayhem and noise.
