Summary

After Monday’s drama, its become a somewhat tedious Tuesday. The s/t cyclical setup continues to favour the bulls.


notable stock: LYFT

LYFT has earnings in AH. I don’t like the stock, but its back above the 200dma, with next resistance of the June high of the $41s.

notable strength: BA

Boeing is set for a decisive bullish close above the 200dma.

notable shipper:CCL

Yesterday saw a very bullish close above the 200dma. Today saw the company announce a secondary offering of $1.5bn, which is naturally seeing the stock get whacked back lower.

notable mining ETF: GDX, 60min


A frustrating day for the miners, although s/t momentum continues to tick upward, set to turn positive late Wednesday.
