Summary

The s/t cyclical setup favours the bulls into the afternoon, and I’m guessing carrying across into early Friday with the BLS jobs data.


notable stock: AMZN

We’ve a clear bounce from the 50dma.

notable weakness: DIS

No news I’m aware of.
Background chatter is of outraged fans, with news of a man-hating Pakistani being appointed to produce Star Wars content. How many hundreds of millions will that movie lose?

It should be clear, the woke mouse has learned NOTHING.

notable gold ETF: GLD, 60min

Gold has bounced from $2043 to 2053.
Hourly momentum is due to turn positive.
I’d like to see the $2080s before the weekend.
The $2100s look more realistic next week, with CPI/PPI data.

notable miner: GOLD

I’d note the most recent two candles are distinctly spiky on the lower side, indicative of s/t bearish exhaustion. Bullish!

Time for lunch…
