As long as the Senate remains a kill switch that reactionary white conservatives can hit whenever they choose, it is difficult to see how America can meet the challenges it faces.

(48,230 posts)1. The last 4 day candles on the DJIA Chart look ominous
Note the almost DOJI candle at the top of the move on Tuesday. That's indecision and doubt, especially in a short range. Then a sharp down day, followed by another actual DOJI, below the previous day's close, and Friday a mid-range open, spike upward and sharp rejection lower. That long line above the red is a classic topping tail pointing to going lower in my view.

So your assessment isn't surprising.
