Summary

closing hour action: further minor chop, leaning a little weak. S/t momentum ticked lower, settling moderately negative. I’d note first support is around 4170/60.

*awaiting minor earnings from Zoom Video’

… and that concludes a pretty tedious Monday. Whilst s/t momentum has largely reset… the bears achieved nothing in price. Bulls in s/t control unless <4160.


notable bond yield proxy: TNX

Moderate chop… but yields are holding above last Thursday’s breakout.
Soft resistance… around 3.85%.

notable banking ETF: KRE

Regional banks choppy, if settling on a very positive note.

notable stock: PACW

A combination of crazy bold s/t buyers, and a hyper short-squeeze.
PacWest remains next due to fail.


16c/61f… is still not summer, with solstice just a month away.
Have a good evening
