sp’60min

Summary

closing hour action: micro chop… with another failure from 4236. S/t momentum settled broadly flat.

… and that concludes a pretty sleepy Tuesday. Mr Market appears content to churn under sp’4238 until the CPI data this Thursday.


notable bond ETF: TLT

Yields cooling back, but the m/t trend remains bearish bonds/bullish yields. CPI threatens a major jump in yields this Thursday.

notable fin: COIN

Coinbase hit via lower crypto. The m/t trend from IPO day remains bearish. I’d actually consider buying this around psy’ $100.

notable stock: MU

Very rough day for Micron. Bearish engulfing candle from just under the 50dma. No adverse news I can see… just s/t sporadic cooling. Rest of the semicons could be expected to follow lower Wed, and more so… Thursday.

Another fine evening. Have a good evening
