… and that concludes a Tuesday. It was another pretty subdued day… if net bearish. Bulls can argue its just bullish consolidation, and I’d agree. Bears… at most could hope for a retrace to around 5800.


notable bond yield proxy: TNX

The US 10yr… broadly flat.

notable bond ETF: TLT

Long bonds… moderately lower.

notable crypto: Bitcoin

Choppy. I lean s/t bearish.

notable crypto: XRP

As is typically the case… any main market downside will pressure crypto lower. My guess is XRP will trade <$2.20. I just wonder if I can buy back from around $2.00

*My recent trade was $2.11 > $2.56.

Here… the cloud rolled in during the early evening, and was an excuse to stay inside. Have a good evening
