12pm update – cheerleader time

US equities are choppy, as the s/t cyclical setup favours the bears. VIX is churning the 18/17s… as a spike to the key 20 threshold is very much viable.

Summary

We have an interesting afternoon ahead… as s/t momentum should turn negative, which threatens a snap/break lower. The 4720/4700 zone is valid within 2-3 days.

notable health: PFE

Pfizer cooling back… despite endless stories about the latest govt/regime order for the shots and pills. Momentum has turned negative.
–

notable horror: PTON

A more natural floor would be the 31/30 zone. Even then, I can think of a few hundred superior stocks… without trying.
—

notable stock: TWTR

A failing company. The loss of Dorsey is a problem. I’d see it as a valid short once Trump’s platform is up and running.
—

notable miner: FCX

I’d be a buyer if Freeport can cool by -2% or more by Thursday.

Time to check on the cheerleaders…
