Summary

closing hour action: choppy, but leaning weak to break a new intraday low (orange gap filled), as s/t momentum weakened a little further, settling on the very low side.

… and that concludes Wednesday. Whilst it was a day for the bears, price action is more chop than anything. We’re very much in the ‘battling it out at key resistance’ phase.


notable hysteria: GME

The lunatics of Wallstreetbets had a good day, but broadly… GME and AMC are m/t horror. I don’t like either company, there are just hundreds of far better things out there.

notable bond ETF: TLT

Bonds rebounding, but that is from a new cycle low. Anyone buying bonds is out of their minds!

notable bank: BAC

Lower with the main market, as lower yields didn’t help.

notable Dow component: BA

Descending with the main market… unlike the following Boeing plane…


A heavy transporter (probably a C17 Globemaster III), taking off from RAF Northolt (in the North West of London). Have a good evening!
