Summary

The s/t bulls have little to prove. Whether the 200dma is cleared today, tomorrow, or a little further out… doesn’t much matter.

The real resistance is around 5900… as looks realistic next week.


notable stock: TSLA

Largely reflective of the main market. Soft target is the 200dma.

notable weakness: LMT

Lockheed is still struggling after last Friday’s loss to Boeing of the F47 contract. I’d imagine its largely due to frustration with the F35 budget which spiraled out of control.
BofA, buy>neutral, 685>485

notable semicon: NVDA

Soft target are the intersecting 50/200dma.

notable miner: FCX

Freeport higher with the main market, and further helped with Copper printing $5.18, as a new hist’ high (>5.20) is clearly viable in the immediate term. Friday’s spiky hollow red reversal candle played out.
