Summary

closing hour action: considerable chop. Bulls could argue s/t price structure is a baby bull flag, offering the 4430/40s tomorrow. S/t momentum ticked lower.

*awaiting earnings from BB and KBH

… and that concludes a Fed day. All things considered, the bulls should be very content with things. I’d agree… the market is still s/t broken. With tomorrow being a Thursday, there is threat of renewed downside, as the 4305 low isn’t yet 100% secure.


notable bond ETF: TLT

Bonds settled moderately higher, but still broadly stuck around the $150s since July, with the US 10yr around 1.30%.

notable fin: BAC

Banks largely higher due to the main market. M/t bullish to psy’ $50.

notable stock: AMZN

Amazon higher with the main market. I’d note the Monday spike from around the 200dma. Whilst its a broad chop fest, we did break a new hist’ high in July.
