Summary

closing hour action: a new intraday high of 3970, as teal gap has been formally tagged. S/t momentum ticked upward, settling on the moderately high side.

… and that concludes Wednesday. It was a day for the bulls, which was rather impressive, ahead of the uncertainty of a CPI print. The s/t cyclical setup favours the bears, but Mr Market will first likely want to wash out the 4K short-stops.


notable stock: COIN

A day of considerable chop. Lagging the main market, but that is after two days of rather strong gains. S/t bullish, but this is m/t horror.

notable bond ETF: TLT

Higher bonds… as yields cooled back ahead of CPI.

notable stock: BAC

Mostly just higher with the main market. Earnings due Friday.

Here, it was a day of grey and rainy horror. A stormy night is ahead.
Have a good evening
