Summary

closing hour action: leaning weak to print a new multi-month low of 6623. S/t momentum settled on the low side.

… and that concludes the week. With a new multi-month low, it has to be seen as a net bearish day/week. The s/t cyclical setup favours the bulls, with basic target of Thursday’s gap. Its difficult to see any price action >6900, even if the Fed cut rates.

*I hold long-silver across the weekend, and I’ll sleep pretty good with that.

notable bond yield proxy: TNX

The US 10yr yield printing 4.29%, as the market appears to be assuming the Fed will NOT cut rates next Wednesday.

notable bond ETF: TLT

Bonds lower for the ninth day of ten

notable crypto: Bitcoin

Leaning upward, but broadly… its multi-week chop.


A brief venture outside was a net positive.
