US equities have built significant gains. VIX is battling to hold above the key 20 threshold. Gold $1987s, a weekly close >$2K would merit attention.

Summary

For the bears… its an increasingly frustrating Thursday, but 11am should offer some cooling into the mid afternoon.

*I’ve a mild concern we’ll keep pushing to 4050/60.

Some perspective… SPX daily5

After yesterday’s powerful bearish engulfing candle, it would be unusual if we didn’t turn red today. As things are, they now looks out of range, and I’d be content with a black candle… which would bode problematic for Friday.

notable Dow component: AAPL

Yesterday saw a major reversal from legacy green gap.
Today… just bouncing with the main market.

notable big tech: MSFT

Similar to Apple… its bouncing, but stuck around key resistance.

notable miner: UEC

Kerrisale (I’ve never heard of them) announced they are short.

Time for an early lunch…
