12pm update – cheerleader time

US equities remain in chop mode, as whilst the market is s/t oversold… there just aren’t enough willing buyers. In any case… the s/t setup STILL favours the bulls into Wednesday, whilst Thursday will be prime for another attempt at orange gap to the sp’3760s.

Earnings due Friday morning.

notable airline: UAL

Recent price action is choppy, but with the stock having cleared the June high, it remains open air to next major resistance of the $70s. That is clearly going to take some considerable time, but technically… $70 IS natural target.
