3pm update – into the weekend

US equity indexes remain mixed. S/t momentum is on the low side, and the s/t setup leans to the bulls, and arguably… for Mon/Tuesday.

Summary

The loss of the 3329s remains a surprise. In any case, the s/t cyclical setup offers another swing upward. VIX is supportive of that view.


notable weakness: AAPL

Goldman touting ‘sell to $80’, whilst Morgan Stanley have a ‘buy to $130’, although they appear open to be ‘aggressive buyers around $100’


notable stock: TSLA

Even the hysteria of Tesla is currently negative. I’m already starting to wonder where it might settle with next Friday’s OPEX.

notable horror: NKLA

Citron Research have joined Hindenburg Research, in touting Nikola as a fraud. Nikola is threatening the lawyers. It makes for some twisted sideline entertainment.

notable Dow component: MSFT

Another close under the 50dma, which does merit main market alarm bells on a multi-week outlook.
