11am update – morning downside

US equities are very significantly lower. VIX has picked up… if only to the 21s, still reflective of a ‘no-fear’ mainstream.

Summary

I’d be surprised if 3795 is taken out.
Regardless… we’ve now two upside gaps.
11am… is a typical turn/flooring time.


notable horror: TSLA

A new cycle low of the $129s. I have to wonder how Elon (probably asleep right now) will cope when Tesla loses psy’ $100.

notable weakness: AMD

As ever… the first to lead up AND down. Today… impacted by Micron.

notable retail: TGT

Target appears set to be cut in half… with target of $70.
Core problems… inflation biting into margins, and a weak consumer.

notable dow component: CAT

Lower with the main market… cooling back from yesterday’s new historic high, which itself remains surprising.

As night falls… its time for a much needed lunch…
