Summary

closing hour action: a little chop… leaning a touch higher, as s/t momentum is ticking lower.

*awaiting earnings from MU

… and that concludes Wednesday. It was a day for the bulls. Thursday will inherently favour the bears, and we do have a downside gap that might be tagged. Regardless… upside teal gap to the 3950s is due… if not until after Christmas.


notable eurotrash: DB

Someone picked up a truckload of the Jan $11 PUTS yesterday. Were I buying, I’d want more time on the clock, at least Feb’, preferably March.

notable bond ETF: TLT

A little chop for bonds. I’d accept the bond bulls could argue structure is a multi-week bull flag, but that’d arguably need the SPX break >4100, and that doesn’t look likely.

notable bank: BAC

A third day higher. S/t bullish into next week.


Not exactly inspiring, as winter is due to officially begin at 4.48pm EST.
