A push to sp’4K appears almost inevitable.


notable Dow component: AAPL

A major reversal. Maybe a tag of orange gap…  before pushing to teal.

notable stock: ABMD

Abiomed bought by JNJ… no doubt using some of its vax-shot money to buy another company.

notable weakness: AMZN

Its turning ugly in Amazon… as Psy’ $50 is another few dollars closer.

notable steel: CLF

Holding up surprisingly well.

time to catch a sunset… before the next wave of storms…
