Summary

Little to add. We have to expect increasing chop ahead of the 2pm press release. S/t momentum remains on the VERY high side.

Weekly resistance 3540/50s. Any price action >3550 would be a decisive breakout. A failure would threaten cooling to at least the weekly 10MA… around 3400.


notable stock: BMY

Earnings were good, but we’re seeing a sell the news event.

notable bond ETF: TLT

Yields are a little cooler ahead of the fed.

notable financial: BAC

The US banking bulls need to see Bank of America break AND hold above the 200dma.

GDX, 60min

Miners at next resistance.

Time to venture outside… and catch a sunset.

Yours… still under house arrest (I’d go outside, even if they didn’t have the ‘exercise clause’).
