2pm update - blame the Greeks

The equity bull maniacs could feel pretty justified to blame the Greeks for today's rather significant sell off. Yet.. a GREXIT itself is probably many months away.. and that is even if the next Greek leadership (if such a word can be used for an Athens Govt).. decides it wants out of the Euro.

Summary

We're seeing a touch of support around the gap zone... which also happens to be a key fib retrace.

Any consistent break <2018 would be a real problem, and open up the pre-FOMC low of sp'1972... which seemed unthinkable just 3-4 days ago.

Regardless of the current little drama... new historic highs are surely still due... not least as suggested by the R2K... which itself is due to gap fill late today/early tomorrow.

2.23pm... chop chop.. around sp'2020...

Notable weakness.. coal miners.. BTU -10%.. in the $6.90s... primary target remains $5.00...but that is unlikely until midsummer
