10am update – opening chop

US equities open choppy, if leaning on the weaker side. The s/t cyclical setup leans to a bounce.. if not until >11am. USD is +0.5% at 110.86, with GBPUSD 1.1292, and EURUSD 0.9992

Summary

Early weakness… as the market is drawn toward 3700.

Special note… sp’daily5c

There is much support around 3700. A sig’ bounce could be expected.

Yours truly is increasingly frustrated.
The s/t setup does NOT support any short side trades… until after a bounce.
Further… whilst I’m pretty damn confident about sp’340o or lower… if I buy Oct’ strike… what if the market churns for a week or two?   So… I wait.


notable stock: TSLA

Major resistance around psy’300… which should be settled under this month.

notable weakness: AMD

As ever… a sector leader, to the up AND downside. M/t bearish 50/48.

notable energy: OXY

Helped with oil bouncing to the $86s.

notable miner: FCX

Helped with copper printing $3.52.
