Summary

closing hour action: further minor chop, if leaning upward. Momentum ticked lower, settling marginally positive.

*awaiting earnings from TSLA, UAL, KMI, AA

… and that concludes Wednesday. It was a day of considerable chop, if still mostly leaning on the positive side. The s/t setup does favour the bears, and it will be a Thursday. Still though… 4K is viable before the weekend, as is supported by the bigger daily/weekly charts.


notable stock: COIN

Helped with Bitcoin printing the $24000s. Today’s higher vol’ is a distinct positive.

notable bond ETF: TLT

Considerable chop. The June $107s remain a provisional m/t floor.

notable bank: BAC

Struggling relative to the main market… but a break >50dma appears an eventuality.

Have a good evening
