Summary

closing hour action: minor chop, leaning on the weaker side.

*awaiting earnings from ADBE, FDX, and a few lesser others.

… and that concludes Tuesday. It was real mess of a day, and unquestionably… it was a distinctly weak rebound. Bears could be pleased to see broad chop, whilst s/t oversold conditions have been largely burnt off.

If the fed don’t placate the market tomorrow afternoon, we’ll likely be trading under the Monday low of 4305.


notable bond ETF: TLT

Bonds a little lower, with higher yields ahead of the Fed. The $150s should broadly hold, as yields should climb into 2022.

notable fin: BAC

Fins leaning upward with the main market. I hold

notable stock: ATVI

Whilst Electronic Arts is a short/mid mess…. its still far better than the absolute civil war that is Activision-Blizzard.


The last day of summer. Equinox is 3.20pm EST… tomorrow.
