"A new, invisible and at times virtual, tyranny is established, one which unilaterally and irremediably imposes its own laws and rules. Moreover, indebtedness and credit distance countries from their real economy and citizens from their real buying power. Added to this, as if it were needed, is widespread corruption and selfish fiscal evasion which have taken on worldwide dimensions. The will to power and of possession has become limitless."

SP 500 and NDX Futures Daily Charts
A pause in the action, or the decline if you prefer, with a bit of a trading range.
Next week is stock option expiration I believe. Monday is Veteran's Day in the US. Markets are open.
