Summary

closing hour action: leaning distinctly weak, breaking a new multi-week low of 4329… taking out the August low. S/t momentum settled on the low side.

… and that concludes a Thursday. It was most definitely a day for the bears. Its difficult to call how Friday might open, but broad downside to test m/t trend – the 4250s next week, appears probable.

I hold HEAVY short overnight, and should remain so into Oct’2nd.

A new multi-decade high of 4.49%.
Psy’ 5.00% appears a threat within 2-6 trading days.

notable bond ETF: TLT

Higher yields > lower bonds.
Alarm bells <$89.00, which would offer the 2013 $80s.

A day of sunshine and heavy showers.
