Summary

Yesterday saw the SPX break a new hist’ high of 4807, but the market was tired, settling fractionally lower. S/t momentum ticked lower across the day, settling on the marginally negative side.

Overnight futures have been subdued, we’re set to open broadly flat. The s/t cyclical setup favours the bears.

Best guess… some cooling to 4270/4700 zone – probably this Thursday, before resuming upward.

Yours truly has a shopping cart, but I see no hurry until tomorrow.
