Summary

S/t equity momentum is on the very low side, and we should see a provisional turn this afternoon. VIX is s/t cyclically on the moderately high side, and vulnerable to cooling into the weekend.

To be clear, a more natural multi-week floor will be from around sp’3700.
Those buying on hopes of a bounce, are at high risk of an opening gap under the June low. Its a minefield of traps, and the cautious will sit back and watch.

notable defensive: LMT

Lockheed is fairing well, although that could be expected considering the geo-political tensions.
