US equities are choppy. The market is arguably just burning off s/t oversold conditions, before another wave lower.

SPX’60min

VIX’60min

Summary

Little to add. Its merely a case of whether we can break <4127, and if the VIX can settle >20. Regardless… I’ll hold short across the weekend.

notable stock: JPM

JPM has lost its 200dma, which merits alarm bells.
The excuse was news that Dimon is planning to sell 1M shares.
We’ve two big downside gaps to the $122s, as look viable next week.

notable stock: TSLA

The gains are shaky… as it remains under the 200dma.
A crashy target are the April $152s

notable energy: OXY

Occidental struggling… not helped with oil in the lowly $83s.

notable bank: BAC

The fins remain broadly ugly. How long until news that one of the known names is in distress?
