10am update – opening gains

US equities open moderately higher… but the gains are shaky.

Summary

I don’t trust the open.
If it wasn’t OPEX, I’d be tempted to short it.

Yesterday’s daily bearish engulfing candles are strongly suggestive we’ll see red indexes (if briefly) today.


notable stock: NVDA

Yesterday’s bearish engulfing candle has played out.

notable crypto stock: MSTR

The pressure is mounting on Saylor, Dan Ives, and the Tom Lee, all of whom were distinctly bullish into year end.

notable silver ETF: SLV, 60min

… as I’ll continue to say, if you’re bearish equities, you can NOT be bullish silver. The past few weeks and months have seen a number of the ‘known names’ touting an equity crash, whilst at the same time bullish gold/silver.

I’m not sure if they are deluded, or lying to placate their ‘bullish gold/silver’ audience, whom they know would be mad as hell, if the person they follow/subscribe to, is bearish their most beloved commodity.

notable weakness: PAAS

Lower silver… with Pan American naturally lower.

notable fin: OWL

Bouncing, but this one remains m/t horror.
Survival is highly questionable.
