Daily Wrap

It was another day of new historic highs, with the sp'500 at 1959, and the NYSE Comp' at 11006. Near term outlook is bullish into Friday quad-opex, and perhaps next Mon/Tuesday. A moderate down cycle of 2-3% looks likely within the next week or two.

Summary

So..we look set to close the week with a TENTH consecutive green candle on the 'rainbow' weekly chart. Incredible.

There is absolutely nothing bearish in the near term, but if my (vain) attempt at a wave count is correct, we should see a minor fall within the next week or two. I have little interest in trying to trade such minor waves, and will instead merely look to pick up another index-long.

Looking ahead

There is nothing scheduled tomorrow. The day will merely be about how the market copes with quad-opex... so.. expect some chop..especially in the latter part of the day.

*next sig' QE is not until next Monday.

Tired..and looking forward to the weekend

I bailed on CHK today, it was a stock that just didn't do much for the past week..dead money. I still like the company though, Energy/Gas is a good sector for the long run.

As for WFM...well, the daily chart...


WFM is proving to be more annoying than I had feared, and its possible the stock just wants to do a classic back test of the original break.. in the $39s. I'm still reasonably confident of upside to the $48/50 zone, which is possible in July.

A long weekend of World Cup football is ahead... and for that... I am thankful.

Goodnight from London
