Summary

A real mess of a morning. S/t equity structure is a bear flag, with a mirror bull flag in the VIX. The bigger daily cycles still favour the equity bears ahead of the Easter break.

*Interesting sideline political chatter that LePen is almost evens with Soy Macron. Whilst I’d not trust either candidate to take care of a rat, its amusing to see the WEF’s lackey at threat of getting Le Boot!


notable stock: TSLA

Tesla is struggling, as momentum has turned negative. The third day lower of four, as orange gap is almost fully filled.

notable bank: BAC

Banks are catching a bounce… but broadly broken. 200dma set for a death cross under the 50dma next week. Bulls can’t be bullish unless >50dma. Earnings due early Monday Apr’18th.

notable energy: RIG

Transocean higher with the sector.

notable miner: LAC

Momentum is increasingly negative, for what is s/t broken.

Time to check on the cheerleaders. Pete will again be in the house, so mute button will be OFF !
