WTIC, daily


Daily momentum is increasingly negative, as a more natural low would be the remainder of red gap, 72/71s.

Summary

Yesterday saw the SPX break a new hist’ high of 7793, if cooling back to settle marginally lower at 7723. S/t momentum weakened across the day, settling on the moderately low side.

Overnight futures have been subdued, we’re set to open fractionally higher. Its a Thursday, and we should expect to see some downside today. I’d be open to the mid/low 7600s.

I wish I could believe in Mr Burry’s crashy scenario. The good thing… those things don’t just occur out of nowhere. There are pre-cursor patterns/structure to look for. In any case… I’ll be looking for a market washout low (if only 10%) within mid Oct/early Nov’.

Ohh, and to be clear, I’m still broadly with the Tom Lee, and expect a very strong 2027. SPX 10K… with the US 10yr yield around 7%, would be ideal.

Yours truly awoke at 6am, with a racing mind… as I’m filled with ideas, as I battle for mid/long term survival. I’m swinging from moments of hope to abject despair. Its… not easy, and frankly, I’ve no business hitting buttons in my current psychological state.

Have a good Thursday
