Summary

Natural target on a bounce… 4380/90s, before a more serious attempt to break <4K in May.

I would be open that Tuesday might print a lower low, to SPX 4188/73 gap… before the 4380/90s. Further, the upper 4300s will make for one very attractive level to short via SPY and/or long VIX.


notable Dow component: MSFT

We have a clear case of buyers ahead of Tues’ AH earnings.
A bounce does appear due… if only a few days.
