Summary

closing hour action: micro chop, if leaning upward to break a new intraday high. S/t momentum ticked upward, and is on the very high side.

… and that concludes Tuesday. Early chop… but recovering to settle net higher. Bulls could argue 4582 is a key floor. Bears could argue s/t price structure is a bear flag. My guess is we’ll see another wave lower. Not long to find out!


notable stock: CFVI

Well, today’s exit was a green one ($11.44>12.37). Now I just hope I can buy back lower. In theory, I should be able to, as the main market is s/t overbought.

notable bond ETF: TLT

Bonds moderately higher… which is arguably pretty stupid ahead of the wild card of the CPI.

notable bank: BAC

Banks leaning upward. Earnings due next Wed’ morning.

Here it was another day of grey horror. Not sure I’ll ever go out again.
Have a good evening
