11am update – morning recovery

US equities have turned positive (if briefly) as daily momentum is increasingly positive. For the bears… its annoying, but there is massive resistance in the low/mid 4600s.

Summary

*s/t equity momentum is ticking lower, and threatens to turn negative this afternoon.

Whatever you make of this morning’s price action, this market remains broken. Bulls need >4650 ( to be decisive ) to drop the concern that we’ll resume lower once OPEX is out of the way.

Yours truly is NOT meddling. I can’t be short, but neither can I be buying anything. No way.

News of the $4bn buyback is helping. The stock remains m/t broken, with natural target of the $25s.
