3pm update – into the close

US equity indexes are due to settle mixed, with a broadly positive SPX, Dow, and Nasdaq, whilst the Trans/R2K are leaning weak. The latter bode net bearish for the main market on Thursday. Natgas has climbed to $3.98.

Summary

Bulls can argue s/t structure is a baby bull flag, offering the 6140/50s.

Regardless of the exact close, with a new hist’ high of 6100, its to be seen a day for the bulls. VIX 15/14s is reflective of a very confident market.


notable stock: NFLX

Yes, its due to settle well below the opening new hist’ high of $999.00, but earnings were good, and the stock is short/mid/long term bullish.

notable laggard: AAPL

Trying to build a floor from just above the 200dma.
Cyclically… VERY low.

notable car: TSLA

Mild concerns about Tariffs, and removed EV mandates.

notable stock: SMR

A sporadic drop of -10% to the mid/low $22s, and I’d be a willing buyer.
