Summary
Yesterday was an effective repeat of Tuesday… considerable micro chop. S/t momentum ticked upward across the day, settling on the high side.
Overnight futures have been leaning positive, helped by other world markets. We’re set to open in the 4160s.
Min’ upside target is teal gap… whether today, or a more viable early Friday, when Powell is due at Jackson Hole. In theory, we should see another wave lower, to complete a minor wave’4, before another push upward ahead of the Labor day break.
Broadly though, many stocks/sectors, and some indexes have likely already maxed out.
