1pm update - rainbows, but no unicorns

US equities remain at high risk of a typical latter day ramp..back into the sp'1850s. The VIX has remained stuck in the gap zone in the 16s, and frankly, isn't showing a market that is particularly concerned. Metals are holding strong gains, Gold +$26


A ray of hope..for the bull maniacs.

sp'60min


Summary

*yes, I'm adjusting the broad channel on the hourly chart. In the bigger picture, we're still broadly heading higher.

I'd only change my outlook on any break <1800, and that sure doesn't look likely.

VIX update...


That should remain a concern to the equity bears...gap zone..a black candle...and threat of slipping back into the 15/14s


1.02pm... 15min cycle turning bullish....bulls are starting to take control again... sp'1843.

VIX about to lose the 16s.

*Russia said 'no ultimatum'...thats gotta be good for 10/15pts...yes?


1.20pm.. looks like bulls have free ride to 1850/52 by 3pm. How we close though..tricky....since sporadic Russia/Ukraine headlines still appearing on the news wires.
