Summary

Set for a fifth consecutive net daily decline.
We should expect some degree of rats exiting ahead of Powell.
Friday threatens a gap lower <6343, and then downward to 6271.
That’d spook a few.


notable stock: AAPL

A sixth day lower… despite by news of AppleTV sub’ prices by 30%
Momo due to turn negative on Friday

notable weakness: BMRN

Daily momo turned negative today, as sub $30 looks probable.

notable retail: TGT

Target failed to dead cat bounce, as Wed’ reversal candle didn’t play out.

notable stock: CBRL

-15% or so at the lows… on the ‘sterile’ rebrand.
The break <200dma is what matters.
