Summary

closing hour action: a pretty ugly closing hour… breaking a new intraday low of 4089, with s/t momentum stalling just under the key zero threshold, ticking back lower.

… and that concludes Thursday. In many ways… it was similar to Wednesday and Tuesday, opening weak… but a distinct recovery, if settling significantly lower. Bulls can certainly cite the market is holding up well, whilst bears still can’t manage anything sustained.

On balance, I’d still look for Friday-OPEX to settle around 4100.
