1. Volume was big. This implies institutional investors and hedge funds were selling.
2. This is the first drop in recent history that has taken out a previous drops low. This means on a technical basis, there is a lower-low in place, a bearish sign.
3. A trend line connecting the previous pivot lows throughout 2017 has been broken to the downside. This implies a key technical break.
4. CEO's abandoning Trump is a huge negative for moving forward business friendly objectives. Whether it is infrastructure spending, tax cuts or a corporate repatriation holiday.
The bottom line is, this may be different than past buy-the-dip opportunities.
