3pm update – into the close

US equities are recovering, for what is a secondary wave higher, with price structure of a bear flag. The market remains s/t broken until the daily 10MA (currently 4556) is broken and held above.

Summary

Suffice to add… some will see this as a ‘victory’ for the bulls. I do not, as price action remains unstable, reflected in a VIX still hovering around 30.


notable stock: MSFT

Microsoft has earnings in AH, which should be fine.


notable tech: AMD

Next support psy’100, and the Sept’ $99s. Fine company… just burnt out with the rest of the Nasdaq.


notable strength: OXY

Helped by Raymond James ‘buy’, 55>60. Whilst I can agree with the target, the stock/sector is s/t vulnerable with the main market and oil, and I am NOT getting involved.

notable miner: FCX

Freeport set for declines. Red gap 32/31s appears realistic in days if sp’4222 is lost.
