3pm update – into the close

US equities remain broadly lower, lead by the Nasdaq. VIX is churning the 26/25s… nothing dramatic… yet. USD is +0.9% at 107.77.

Summary

Suffice to add… we’re set for net declines in most indexes.
S/t price structure in the VIX is a baby bull flag… which threatens a problem… if only to begin Tuesday.


notable stock: AMZN

Friday’s reversal candle failed to play out. The only issue… whether teal gap is tagged (again)… before a break <psy’ $100.

notable weakness: AMD

Reflective of the struggling semicons. M/t bearish, but (as for the main market) I’m suspicious of a bounce… post CPI. I’d note that momentum is due to turn positive.


notable strength: CFVI

Helped via Elon’s dropped bid for TWTR.
I like Rumble.com, and remain inclined to pick up.

notable miner: FCX

Cyclically low, but a more natural floor remain the $23/22s.

Time to venture out, back at the close…
