Summary

S/t momentum is due to turn negative this afternoon, and if it does, it should ensure net daily declines of some degree. A close <4100 would be something for the bears, after last Friday’s extreme case of window dressing.

Again, I’d look to the lower hourly bollinger, which is a valid target before Easter.


notable stock: TSLA

Its turned outright ugly in Tesla.

notable trans: CCL

Recent earnings were horrific, and that was without a recession.
The stock/sector is to be seen as toxic.

notable semicon: MU

Lower with the sector, as Micron just can’t clear the $65s.  M/t bearish $36s

notable miner: LAC

No news I’m aware of. The problem will be the main market into the summer.
