Summary

Yesterday saw early weakness, but swinging to end on a moderately positive note. S/t momentum settled marginally negative.

Overnight futures have been subdued, we’re set to open a little higher.

Price structure threatens a bear flag, so I’d be open to a cooling wave. Broadly though… teal gap to fully fill, and I’d look for a foray >4K to wash out the largest tranche of short-stops.

NEWS…

A hack… or just a sign of failed tech-infrastructure?
Either way, for some travelers… its a difficult morning.

Here in the failed state of the UK…

An MP has been kicked out of the party for daring to question the C19 narrative…

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-64236687

The ruling regime responded with…

‘”The vaccine is the best defence against Covid that we have. Misinformation about the vaccine causes harm and costs lives.”‘

Their responses are very… ‘robotic’. Someone at party HQ is literally cutting/pasting narrative quotes into a press release.

As I said just yesterday, ‘they’ aren’t going to give up as easily as some in the resistance believe.

In any case… the injuries and deaths from the mRNA gene therapy shots continue. A society that wants to silence/censor those who call out the truth… is not worthy of survival.

Have a good Wednesday
