10am update – opening chop

US equities open choppy, if leaning on the weaker side. VIX is churning the 18s… prone to settling red… with green indexes. USD is -0.2%. US 10yr 4.71%

Summary

I can NOT take the early weakness seriously.
We appear headed into the low 4300s… tomorrow.
The only issue is whether teal gap can be tagged.
It’d sure make for a more comfortable re-short.
I wait.

notable stock: AAPL

A key stock the bulls need to see ‘hold together’ to have hope of further upside. Momentum has turned positive.

notable weakness: OXY

Oil $82s sure isn’t helping.

notable strength: TSLA

S/t speculative buyers. Momentum has turned positive.

notable car: RIVN

The market is upset at a $1.5bn convert’ corp’ debt offering, which by definition, will be prone to diluting the value of existing shares.
