Continuing is the trend since May, wherein increasing (yet still negative) momentum (MACD) coincidentally registers at lower index highs. Thus, another turn lower can be expected here, and this in keeping with further sideways trading thought likely to develop leading up to the market's projected collapse sometime over the next couple months.

There's a reasonable chance the market's turn lower was made late in the day today. Give it another week or so, and we should be setting new lows, post-April peak.
