US stocks end the day down, but could have been much worse...

S&P down -0.05%. Nasdaq down -0.08%. Dow down -0.10%.

The US stock major market indices are ending the day in the red but things could have been much worse.

• The S&P is ending down -1.11 points or -0.05% at 2411.80. The high was early in the day at 2415.99. The low extended to 2403.59.
• The Dow is closing at 21008.65, down -20.82. The high reached 21051.70. The low 20942.57.
• The Nasdaq index is ending down 4.674 points or -0.08% to 6198.516. The high came in at 6221.98. The low was at 6164.06.

Looking the Nasdaq intraday price action, the high was in the first few minutes of trading. The low was not that long after the opening. The rest of the day saw the price test the 50% of the days range until the last 30 or so minutes when that level was broken (at 6193.026).

So the day was a down day. No new record closes. However, it could have been much worse.
