Summary

Suffice to add, its pretty choppy, as the VIX remains reflective of a comfortable mainstream. For now, Mr Market doesn’t care that the US election vote is still to be finalised.


notable stock: AMD

A strong day for AMD, helped by background chatter of a joint venture with IBM. Price action/structure is very similar to April>July.

notable financial: JPM

Set for sig’ declines, but it will still make for another decisive close above the 200dma.

notable mining ETF: GDX, 60min

S/t momentum continues to tick back upward. Miners will be back in play with a break above the hourly 10MA.
