Summary

closing hour action: considerable chop, and breaking a new cycle low. S/t momentum is offering a secondary divergent higher low – relative to early morning.

… and that concludes Tuesday. It was clearly another day for the equity bears, with a new cycle low. The only thing missing… the VIX, which stayed distinctly below last Friday’s early high of the 38s.

Basic bounce target… the 3450/60s. Psy’3500 on a stretch.


notable stock: AMD

AMD lower with the main market. Old resistance 60/58… is new core support.


notable stock: NVDA

Sister stock to AMD… the Nvidia, lower for a third day, but note the hollow red reversal candle, which leans s/t bullish.

notable stock: DIS

Net gains for Disney, helped via the Deutsche Bank upgrade. Great company, but the stock looks very vulnerable to orange gap.


A fine end to the day. Have a good evening.
