Summary

For a Thursday, its an especially impressive open… to new historic highs. Yesterday’s daily SPX and VIX reversal candles are still a threat, but right now, the s/t cyclical setup favours the bulls. WTIC $70s is clearly helping.

Yours truly is watching the R2K… another 0.3% closer to a monstrously bullish breakout.


notable stock: SWBI

Earnings were good, but we’re still seeing a washout. The valuation of FPE 13/12s is outright cheap. Opening reversal… as the buyers are piling in!

notable energy: OXY

Occidental helped with oil $70s. Price structure of a baby bull flag… provisionally confirmed.

notable strength: COIN

Coinbase higher with Bitcoin >psy’ $50k.

notable steel: X

US Steel rebounding… if somewhat laggy to sister stock CLF. Multi-week price structure is a big bull flag.
