Summary

Yesterday opened on a weak note, but there was a recovery… if still settling fractionally lower. S/t momentum settled fractionally negative.

Overnight futures have been leaning on the weaker side, we’re set to open -15pts or so. The s/t cyclical setup favours the bulls, and it won’t take much to see indexes turn positive.

Today’s big event… Tesla earnings, due in AH. I wonder if Elon ever gets stressed about the laggy stock price? Perhaps he is more focused on Starship test’6, seemingly due within the next four weeks!
