… and that concludes a Tuesday. With a new cycle low of 5528, it should be seen as a net bearish day. I’m looking for capitulation around 5400.


notable bond yield proxy: TNX

The US 10yr printing 4.291%, partly helped by the better than expected JOLTS data.

notable bond ETF: TLT

Higher yields > lower bonds.

notable crypto: Bitcoin

Recovering from 76K to 83K. A more natural floor would be 73K

notable crypto stock: MSTR

Still no daily close <200dma. Kinda impressive.


I guess I can still get pictures of the moon.
Have a good evening
