Summary

The style of price action is clear… a little cooling, ahead of another wave upward. The 4160s look due tomorrow, the only issue is whether we go a little higher than that. Ideally… we’ll get stuck 4160/70s. I do NOT want to see any daily closes >4190.


notable stock: TSLA

Background earnings related chatter on LCID, RIVN, and NKLA isn’t helping.

notable reversal: WDC

Early gains… but a full reversal.
Great products… but the weak consumer has to be seen as a problem.

notable retail: UAA

Another retail-related stock that merits as an alarm bell for the broader consumer based western economy.

notable semicon: NVDA

Broadly… this remains one of the most ludicrously valued stocks, with an FPE of 45/50.
