Summary

This subdued price action could be expected to remain the case all the way into, and across July 4th holiday week. There should be at least a few dynamic individual movers to keep us awake…

–
notable stock: DJT

S/t speculative buyers… ahead of Thurs’ 9pm.
I’m more wondering about July 11th.
–

notable stock: AAPL

Bullish engulfing candle , as the buyers have appeared in Apple, although I’d be open to a formal retrace to psy’200/199, before resuming upward.
—

notable fin: PYPL

No news… and broadly… this is a flat lining zombie.
—

notable energy: CVX

Higher with the sector… and helped by WTIC $81s.
Note the floor from the 200dma.
