Summary

S/t momentum continues to weaken, as the s/t cyclical setup favours the bears… if only part of Friday. A little more broadly, the market will be inclined for net upside into next Wednesday’s FOMC… when the Fed will do nothing, which won’t please Mr President.


notable stock: INTC

Intel has earnings in AH. I’d not expect much, but the outlook should be fine.

notable stock: NEM

Newmont has earnings in AH, which should be good, with gold sustainably >$3K.  The sector leader remains AEM

notable stock: TSLA

As a fair number in chart land recognise… the stock is finding buyers from s/t rising trend.

notable stock: GOOGL

That is a black candle, and leans s/t bearish, at least for part of Friday.
