Summary

closing hour action: choppy, if holding the low of 4216, and leaning upward. S/t momentum ticked upward, settling marginally positive.

… and that concludes a Tuesday. With a new cycle low of 4216 and VIX 20s, it was very much a bearish day. Most realistic s/t bullish case is a bounce to 4300/4330, as even teal gap is looking out of range.

*today’s conservative party (they’re the ones currently in power) conference is causing great upset, as the populace are arguing for/against the mass immigration. On one level its amusing to see, on another… tragic.

Have a good evening
