Summary

Whilst the morning was a bit of a mess, today’s secondary wave was far stronger, with Mr Market washing out the 5K short-stops. Next resistance 5040/50s.

I’d accept you could argue a bigger move to green zone/5200s, which is only 3.0% or so higher. Anyone wanting to short… will be careful.


notable stock: CLF

Cleveland Cliffs has earnings in AH.
Tough one to call. The technical setup leans bullish.

notable stock: TSLA

Difficult day… with the market spooked by price cuts, and Elon canceling a trip to India. The current candle is a reversal, and leans s/t bullish.

notable Dow component: VZ

From pre-market gains of +2% to -4%… that is one ugly downside reversal. Lets be clear… earnings were broadly ‘fine’.

notable oil ETF: USO

For yours truly… small mercy, as oil is set to close with a reversal candle. I guess I’ll be drowning in oil until at least next Monday.
