Summary

Chop chop…. as the market needs to burn off  s/t oversold conditions, and that could easily stretch into/across Wednesday. The problem for the bulls… daily momentum is increasingly negative, and weekly momentum is set to turn negative into November.


notable stock: AMD

Merging with XLNX. Earnings due in AH… will likely be mediocre.

notable weakness: TECK

Earnings weren’t great, but then the miners lost to the lockdown restrictions. I like the company, but would lean to Freeport (FCX).

notable strength: CRSR

DA Davidson ‘buy to the $33s’… and I agree.

notable mining ETF: GDX, 60min

S/t price action remains messy, still inclined for the 200dma in the $34s.
