Summary

closing hour action: leaning weak to break a new intraday low of 4456. S/t momentum turned negative.

… and that concludes a Tuesday. It was a choppy, if net bearish day.

I hold heavy short (from Friday, 4662). I want to ‘clear the decks’ by next Monday morning, preferably from 4335 or lower.

notable bond yield proxy: TNX

Yields poised to spike on the CPI.
If correct… equities will spiral.

notable bond ETF: TLT

Bonds moderately higher. Spurious gain.

notable stock: TFC

Truist is on my radar, as vulnerable to failing.

Here… a day of sunshine and showers.
I was tired… and with late afternoon grey skies, it was an excuse to stay in.
Have a good evening
