Summary

closing hour action: micro chop, leaning a touch, and still under the hourly 10MA. The bears could argue s/t price structure is a bear flag.

*awaiting earnings from LYFT

… and that concludes Tuesday. After yesterday’s bullish drama, today turned out to be pretty tedious. The s/t cyclical setup favours the bulls for Wednesday.


notable stock: AMD

Difficult day for AMD, although its still holding above recent lows. The new graphics cards are due Nov’18th, and should be a challenge to Nvidia.

notable stock: AMZN

One of the ‘stay at home’ stocks knocked lower for a third day. I have to see the ‘vaccine = bearish’ excuse as pretty stupid.

notable mining ETF: GDX, 60min

A second day lower, despite higher gold/silver. Not great.


Just another day with the UK populace remaining under effective house arrest. I hope things are less restrictive in your world.

Have a good evening
