China's Wuhan coronavirus spreads to the stock market and triggers the ominous Hindenburg Omen

The spreading of Chinas coronavirus has impacted the U.S. stock market, in effect triggering one often bearish technical chart formation.
Break out the short positions, traders.
With the markets steep selloff on Monday marking its fifth straight day of declines amid fears of the economic impact from the coronavirus the closely watched Hindenburg Omen was activated on the S&P 500, points out strategists at Sundial Capital Research. The Hindenburg Omens guidelines say the market has to be in an uptrend, it must show a large number of stocks hitting 52-week highs and 52-week lows and display negatively diverging breadth momentum.
That dynamic came into play with the markets rapid two straight days of declines, Sundial Capital Research says.
And it could mean bad news for investors, per historical data.
Sundials data dating back to 1970 shows the returns for the S&P 500 were negative one-week, two weeks, one-month, two months and three-months following the Hindenburg Omen being tripped. The median return on the S&P 500 three months after the Hindenburg Omen hit tallied 2.2%.
