… and that concludes a Thursday. It was a net bullish day.
Friday appears set to close above the daily 200ma, with a tag, or full fill of teal gap next Mon/Tuesday.

Yours truly is content on the sidelines until next week.


notable bond yield proxy: TNX, 60min

A new multi-decade high of 4.688%, if cooling back.
I’d still guess psy’ 5.00% will be printed in October, and it’d be one excuse for sp’4K.

notable bond ETF: TLT

A new multi-year low of $87.10, if reversing upward. S/t bullish, if only a few days. The door remains wide open to next support of the $80s, last seen in 2013.

notable banking ETF: KRE

Reflective of the main market. S/t bullish, if only a few days.

Here… grey skies, an excuse to stay inside.
Have a good evening
