US equities are choppy, but set for sig’ net daily gains. VIX continues to churn the 20s, reflective of a mainstream with zero concern ahead of Christmas.

Summary

Whilst I’d be open to yellow gap being tagged… not least on a Thursday, 3795 appears secure, with prime upside target of 3950s… if not until next week.


notable stock: MU

Micron has earnings in AH. The company has long since warned 2023 is going to be difficult. M/t bearish $36s.


notable stock: TSLA

Regardless of the close, with a new cycle low of the $135s, its to be seen as another net bearish day for Tesla. Hell, we’re barely $100 away from the ‘crazy talk’ H/S target of 34/33s.

notable dow component: AAPL

Reflective of the bouncing main market. Yesterday’s reversal candle played out. The bigger issue is whether this will lose psy’ $100 in Q1.

notable energy: OXY

Momentum is prone to turning positive tomorrow, which should carry across into next week. 50dma $68s
