A selloff in Monday afternoon trade reached levels not see since early February by one measure. The Arms index is was at its highest since on the NYSE briefly hitting above 2.6, approaching its highest level since Feb. 5, when the markets saw another sharp descent, according to FactSet data.

Dow falls, all 30 components fall under a key short-term technical level

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell on Monday, and recent weakness has so impacted the blue-chip average that all of the Dow's 30 components are below a closely watched short-term technical level. The average fell 2.9% to 23,412 on Monday. It has dropped 4.6% over the past month, and it is down 12% from an all-time high hit earlier this year. With the declines, all of the blue-chip components are below their 50-day moving average, a level that is often viewed as a gauge of short-term momentum in an asset. Breaking decisively below it can signal deeper losses ahead. The Dow itself hasn't closed above its 50-day since March 9. The S&P 500 fell 3.1% on Monday while the Nasdaq Composite Index was down 3.5%.

Intel tumbles in worst session in two years; falls into correction territory

Shares of Intel Corp. fell sharply on Monday, with technology giant on track for its biggest one-day decline in more than two years. The stock shed 7.6%, which would represent its worst session since January 2016. With the day's decline, Intel is down more than 10% from a recent peak, a decline that puts it into correction territory. The stock also fell below its 50-day moving average, a closely watched gauge for short-term momentum trends. With the move below that level, all 30 Dow stocks are now below their 50-day moving averages. The day's losses in Intel accelerated after a report that Apple Inc. would begin begin outfitting its Mac personal computers with its own chips in two years. However, the stock had also been lower before that report, falling alongside a broad selloff in the technology sector , which was down 3.2%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 2.8% on Monday while the S&P 500 was off 2.9% and the Nasdaq Composite Index was down 3.3%.

Dow joins S&P 500 below 200-day MA, Nasdaq is now threatening to breach that key line

The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped below its 200-day moving average, joining the S&P 500 index in Monday trade. And the Nasdaq Composite Index is set to stumble below that key, long-term average, as a downdraft, driven by worries about technology stock valuations and protectionist trade policies, accelerated in Monday afternoon trade. The Dow fell as many as 730 points, or about 3%, at 23,417, with its 200-day MA at 23,422.44, according to FactSet data. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq was trading down 3.4% at 6,824, with its 200-day moving average at 6,745.40. A breach beneath that level would signal to technical investors a broad breakdown in the market's fundamental bullish momentum. The Nasdaq stands just about 1.1% above its 200-day MA. A descent under that point would represent a breach of key technical levels for the S&P 500 index , which is threatening to close below its 200-day MA for the first time since late June of 2016. The Dow [: DJIA] also hasn't closed below its 200-day moving average since late June of 2016.

Wall Street's 'fear index' jumps 20% amid stock selloff

The Cboe Volatility index spiked on Monday, amid a sharp selloff in the U.S. stock market that threatened to take the Nasdaq into its first correction in about two years. The VIX gained 26% in midday trading, spiking to 24.15. It has more than doubled thus far this year, up nearly 130%. Among other measures of volatility, the Cboe Nasdaq Volatility index was up 18% on Monday while the Cboe DJIA Volatility index , which uses options for the Dow Jones Industrial Average to calculate expectations for volatility in the blue-chip average over the coming 30 days, was up 22%. The Dow fell 2.7% on Monday while the S&P 500 was down 2.8%. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 3.2%; the Nasdaq is down more than 10% below an all-time high. Closing at that level would put it into correction territory. The day's losses were broad, but there was particular weakness in technology and consumer-discretionary stocks.
