Summary

Structure is an overly long bear flag, as the bulls can argue that momentum will be prone to turning positive on Thurs’ morning. The setup is mixed.

—
notable stock: AA

Alcoa has earnings in AH. I remember the days when this was a Dow component, and would traditionally be the company that began every earnings season.

–
notable stock: KMI

Kinder Morgan has earnings in AH, which should be fine.
Today has seen a new multi-year high, as the stock is m/t bullish, more impressive relative to oil prices.
–

notable trans: UAL

United soaring on fine earnings. Next resistance 76/77s
–

notable miner: UEC

RSI >70, and even the bold will be raising their stops.
My concern would be the main market… if not until after the election.
