3pm update – into the weekend

US equities are set for very significant net daily, and net weekly declines. The weekly candles are bearish engulfing, and it bodes for further downside next week, before a better chance at bouncing. VIX 28s are reflective of an increasingly concerned mainstream. The USD is +0.5% at 101.16, which isn’t helping commodity land.

Summary

Well, regardless of the exact close, its one ugly end to the week. Yes, equities are s/t very oversold, with an overbought VIX, but the daily/weekly candles offer ZERO sign of a floor, and are in fact suggestive of lower levels.


notable Dow component: MSFT

Earnings are due next week. Any price action <270 will merit alarm bells, and offer psy’ $200.

notable stock: CLF

Great earnings, but knocked back lower by the main market. Bearish engulfing daily candle, with next support of the $26s.

notable fin: PYPL

A new multi-year low… with next support of the $75s.

notable stock: CFVI

DWAC… aka… Truth Social, is now being hosted via the Rumble.com servers. I guess its going to help pay for some of the rumble.com costs. Truth Social itself appears dead on arrival, not least if Elon can takeover TWTR.

back at the close…
