3pm update – into the close

US equities remain a little choppy, if leaning upward. The VIX has been ground into the 12s. Pretty astounding to see.

Summary

Whilst equities remain a little choppy, the VIX remains the tell. Little reason to expect anything else for the rest of the week. The s/t equity setup favours the bulls, with momentum due to turn positive.

notable stock: AMD

Red gap almost filled. Most of the technicals are oversold.

notable banking ETF: KRE

The 8th day lower of 10. Gap support $39.39… but broadly the sector looks doomed to be cut in half again… unless the US Treasury/Fed announce they will guarantee ALL deposits.

notable strength: AMZN

It does appear likely that Amazon will buy Ocado of the UK. Ironically, it wasn’t until spring 2020, that online grocery retailing really took off.

notable stock: TSLA

Yesterday’s bearish engulfing candle did play out, but with a strong upside reversal. I can understand those seeking psy’ $300… whether July or August.
