Summary

GDP Q4 (print’2): 0.7% vs 1.4% (print’1)
… lousy, if reflective of the jobs data.

The s/t cyclical setup favours the bulls.
SPX momo due to turn positive.
VIX momo due to turn negative.
Basic target is a tag of teal gap to 6740


notable stock: ADBE

Earnings were fine…
EPS $6.06 vs 5.87est. Rev’ y/y +12.0% to $6.39bn vs 6.27est.

… but the market was annoyed on news the CEO is leaving.
The opening candle is a hollow red reversal.

Right now, it leans net bullish into the Fed, with momo due to turn positive.
