Summary

closing hour action: minor chop. S/t momentum settled on the high side, but a tag of teal gap looks very likely.

*awaiting earnings from $CLF $NUE $NXPI $SAP $MEDP $CCK $CDNS $AGNC $ARE $ZION

… and that concludes a Monday. It was a net bullish day, but today is arguably just part of a 2-3 day bounce. I’d look for teal gap to be tagged early Tuesday, and then resuming lower to take out 5497 before the weekend.

*If instead we open Tuesday lower, I would still look for another wave upward to tag teal gap, before resuming lower.
