Summary
Sidenote… we’ve barely two full trading days left of January. Any settlement next Monday <4400 would be decisive, and bode badly for February… at least to around 4000.
Yours truly is content to sit back and wait… nevermind I’ve a truck load of personal projects to be more focused on.

notable stock: AAPL
Apple has earnings in AH. The problem is that monthly momentum is weakening… both for the stock and main market. Psy’ $150 looks pretty easy.
–
notable stock: HOOD
Robinhood has earnings in AH. Absolute m/t horror, sub $10 looks almost inevitable. I consider the stock sideshow entertainment.

notable stock: X
US Steel has earnings in AH. Tough to call. The stock is s/t broken, and arguably even the bold will leave it alone.

notable miner: FCX
Freeport lower with copper and the main market. Red gap 32/31s?
back at the close…
