10am update – starting positive

US equities are very significantly higher. S/t momentum has turned positive, and offers upside into the afternoon. WTIC $117s. Gold $1990…. ironically, both of those numbers would have shocked people just a few weeks ago.

Summary

*the gains are shaky, but I’d look for another push upward.

Prime upside target has to be teal gap… where the upper bollinger is.
The bulls only hope of a test of the 4450s, would be if CPI comes in cooler than than (7.9%) expected.

Yours truly is content to sit back and watch. I’d like to see some hours of gold/miners/oil floor building, before getting involved. Further, I’d like to see an equity cyclical ceiling/turn, and that might not come until late afternoon.

Opening reversal, but cyclically… we have no clear floor yet.

Yellow cake looks realistic.

notable stock: AMD

Reflective of the main market… bouncing, but absolutely still m/t broken.
