Summary
Yesterday saw the market build significant gains into the late afternoon. S/t momentum maxed out around midday, and ticked lower into the close.
Overnight futures have been very subdued. 8.30am will see the latest CPI data… and that could come in pretty hot. In theory, if it does… mr market will use it as an excuse to washout. The s/t cyclical setup certainly favours a cooling wave. The fact its a Thursday will inherently favour the bears.
I’d note the lower hourly bollinger at 4453… some 154pts lower. In any case… lets see the CPI print.
Yours truly has eyes on CFVI, but I’m also kinda interested in adding to my gold/silver miners. Energy stocks remain way over-stretched, and I just can’t add to any of them at this time/price.
