3pm update - 100pts across 3 trading days

US equities have soared from a Tuesday close of sp'1972 to a recent print of 2072, an incredible hyper-ramp of 100pts across just 3 trading days. It has unquestionably been a week for the equity bulls, with a clear floor of sp'1972... and we're now close to breaking a new historic high (>2079).

Summary

*1972... to 2072... wow. I should note, as of Tuesday night, I thought I was bold in seeking a weekly close of 2030/40.
--

It has been a long week... there is little to add, that hasn't already been said many times.

*the only thing I would add.... eyes to the R2K... once it breaks a new historic high, it'll be a major signal of much higher levels. The setup is very much like the Transports in late 2012.. having trading sideways for an entire year.. it then exploded higher.. and never looked back.
--

3.17pm... Powerful oil gains of 5.7%.. and this is really helping equities hold gains on what would normally be a choppy opex.

Notable strength, RIG, +8.3%.. a key mid term floor is in.
