11am update – morning downside

US equities are moderately weak… clearly nothing that merits bearish hysteria. The bigger daily cycles are swinging back toward the bears though, as Wed’/Thursday offers something far more dynamic.

Summary

Bears could argue we’re just building a multi-hour bear flag.
Things turn interesting <3965.


notable energy: SLB

Reflective of the sector. Orange gap looks realistic this week.
To be clear, I still see oil and the related energy stocks as the last thing to be short… and I’m sticking to just the indexes (namely SPY).

notable energy: CHPT

The main market sure isn’t helping. A m/t chop fest. I like the company, but I can’t be buying back. Earnings Thurs’ AH.

notable strength: TSLA

There are some very bold buyers out there… but broadly this IS m/t horror from the $414s. A H/S offers a crazy target of 34/33s.

notable fin: PYPL

Its arguably on hopes of cyber Monday transactions. The gains are pretty shaky though.

As night falls… its time for a much needed lunch
