Summary

closing hour action: micro chop, leaning a touch weak, as s/t momentum was increasingly negative.

… and that concludes Tuesday. On any basis, with a new hist’ high of 4807, it was another day for the bulls. The s/t setup does favour the bears though, with a natural washout/retrace target of 4720/4700.

notable stock: ZM

Reflective of a number of ‘stay at home’ stocks… m/t horror.  Zoom picking up a few things from ‘Luminal’.
–

notable bond ETF: TLT

Bonds cooling back with higher yields.
–

notable bank: BAC

Banks held up relative to the main market, helped via higher yields. Big target is psy’ $50, which seems realistic with Q4 earnings due in mid January. I hold.
