Summary

New intraday high of 6073, if fractionally cooling back.
The s/t cyclical setup favours the bears.
Target of 5905 dropped if >6100.

… I’m guessing we do print around 5900, and I continue to hold an empty shopping cart.


notable stock: AAPL

Due to settle with a black candle… or outright red.

notable weakness: TSLA

Choppy, if set for sig’ declines.

notable semicon: INTC

My only s/t concern… if the main market cools to SPX 5900
I hold for the $25s. News of a new CEO would help!

notable steel: CLF

… as tariffs are good for business, at least in terms of s/t sentiment.
On a l/t basis… protectionalism isn’t good at all.

back at the close…
