Summary

closing hour action: a little chop, leaning a touch weak. S/t momentum settled marginally negative.

… and that concludes the week. A little weakness… but with a new hist’ high of 6290, it has to be seen as a net bullish week. The s/t cyclical setup favours the bulls, but structure is a bear flag.
