Summary
Tuesday saw micro chop, if still breaking a new hist’ high of 5490. S/t momentum weakened across the day, settling fractionally positive.
Overnight futures have been increasingly positive, we’re set to open moderately higher, +20/25pts… into Tom Lee’s 5500s.
I’d keep in mind the s/t cyclical setup does favour the bears, and threatens a downside reversal. Again though, any such cooling would be restrained.
