Summary

closing hour action: micro chop, leaning fractionally higher, as s/t momentum continued to tick upward.

… and that concludes Tuesday. It was a rather sleepy day… but certain sectors – such as Fins and Ener’, are just doing their own thing. Whilst the s/t cyclical setup favours the bulls, a tag or full fill of orange gap is probable, before a better chance of sustained upside to further new historic highs.


notable stock: INTC

Sig’ gains for Intel, but today’s CES keynote from AMD’s Lisa Su is a powerful reminder that AMD is leading the sector. Further, Intel’s $10bn buyback is just a sign its management lacks any decent ideas.

notable stock: AMD

Sig’ declines… but that is from yesterday new historic highs. Wedbush 100>110.

notable stock: TGT

Target still m/t super strong, pushing for psy’200. Arguably the best large scale retailer in the world.


… and that was as close to sunshine as it came today.
Have a good evening.
