Summary

Regardless of how we settle today, s/t bulls should be concerned that today’s price action is lousy… relative to better than expected CPI data. Tomorrow is a Thursday, which will inherently favour the bears.

A more secure floor from around 5400 appears on track.


notable stock: TSLA

Very powerful gains… partly short-covering, inspired by Elon touting US production to double within two years.

notable stock: AMD

Two up days don’t count as short term, never mind mid term bullish.

notable retail: AMZN

A black candle, having stalled at key price threshold. S/t bearish with the main market.

notable miner: CCJ

RBC, buy, $90.  Stifel and GLJ Res’ also upgraded.
