Summary

closing hour action: minor chop, leaning a little weak. S/t momentum ticked lower, and will be prone to turning negative early Tuesday.

*awaiting earnings from PLTR, SYM, VRTX, NXPI, SPG, AMKR, FMC, CHGG, RMBS, BRBR

… and that concludes a Monday. Morning downside… but a rather standard latter day recovery. The s/t cyclical setup favours the bears, but I would be equally open to the 5000s this week.


notable bond yield proxy: TNX

Yields climbed for a second day, partly helped by Powell talk on ’60 minutes’.

notable bond ETF: TLT

Higher yields > lower bonds.

notable stock: COIN

A new cycle low, nearing the July $114s.

Here… a day of grey horror, and a fine excuse to stay inside.
Have a good evening
