Summary

*a VERY bearish closing hour, with a classic bearish engulfing candle on the hourly cycle. It bodes strongly in favour of the equity bears tomorrow. Target zone is 2025/20.

So... a little drama in the closing hour. Sporadic comments from the ECB will remain a problem for the bull manaics in the weeks.. and months ahead. We all love the drama though.. especially in the last hour of the day, right?
