… and that concludes Thursday. It was a pretty sleepy day (until the last 30 minutes), but the market still managed a new historic high. All that remains missing for the equity bulls… is a sub 20 VIX.

The closing candle is of the bearish engulfing type, and leans s/t bearish for the Friday open. Orange gap support 3621.
