Summary

closing hour action: a micro burst upward, just 2pts shy of last Tuesday’s historic high, before a little cooling. S/t momentum subtly ticked lower across the afternoon, settling on the very high side.

… and that concludes Tuesday. It was a second day for the bulls, which gives some extra confidence of broader market upside into/across Q2 earnings in July/August.

Yours truly is trying to have the patience to sit back and hold long via…

notable bond ETF: TLT

Lower bonds, as yields leaned upward.

notable fin: BAC

Arguably the best of the financial giants. Bullish with higher yields.

notable stock: NFLX

Netflix showing some strength, but broadly… this one m/t mess. Today’s candle is subtly spiky from the 50dma… within major gap resistance.


Have a good evening
