Summary

*19 trading days remain of the year.

Yesterday saw the SPX break a new historic high of 3682, with some mini drama into the close. S/t momentum settled marginally negative.

Overnight futures have been a little choppy, leaning on the upward side. I would keep in mind we have the monthly jobs data and factory orders this morning, and it won’t take much to swing the market lower.

Daily equity/vix cycles are problematic… if only for a few days.

Ohh, and yes… the USD continues to depreciate toward the DXY crazy 88s, which would be a natural place to bounce.
