12pm update – cheerleader time

US equities are battling to stay positive, as s/t momentum is weakening. Nasdaq comp’ has turned red… with VIX printing 21s. An interesting reversal… but then, its a Thursday.

Summary

I’d note this morning’s momentum/cycle high was lower than yesterday.
Equity momentum prone to turning negative by mid afternoon, with net daily declines. To be clear… s/t vulnerable, but 4370 looks very secure into early May.


notable stock: NFLX

Those buying into the m/t horror… are paying the price. Next support… $124s.

notable weakness: FB

Such a shame.  🙂

notable commodity stock: AA

Earnings were broadly good, but the market is using a rev’ miss as the excuse to nuke the stock. Pretty stupid… for what is still m/t bullish.

notable miner: NEM

Newmont whacked lower with the sector. Not pretty. 50dma $74s.

Time to check on the cheerleaders… or maybe just get back to bed.
