Summary

*we saw a fair number of black/reversal daily candles yesterday, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see a downside reversal… already seen in DIS and MU.

To be clear, on no basis do I see it meriting any short-side trade.

VIX has filled both downside gaps… with two to the upside, an effective mirror to the SPX.


notable Dow component: DIS

It is amusing the market sees Iger as the solution to problems. Another tag of teal gap appears probable… but this remains l/t horror from the $203s.

notable retail: AMZN

Making a play for green gap.
I wonder how Prime Day/s sales went. I didn’t buy anything.

notable trans: DAL

Earnings were unquestionably good, for what appears the best of the Air Lines. Opening gains are fading. Black candle… as momentum has turned negative.

notable stock: META

Helped by Morgan Stanley 300>350.
