Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. Futures are a touch higher, sp +2pts, we're set to open at 2078. Equity bears should be seeking a break back under the 50dma of 2074. Metals are weak, Gold -$3. Oil is significantly lower after the API report, -1.5% in the $52s.

Nasdaq, daily


Summary

*the Nasdaq remains especially strong. However, if 4850 is lost... its a fair way down to the rising 200dma in the 4600s.
--

So.. today is set to open much like yesterday. The difference is that the hourly equity cycles have a bearish cross, and there is viable downside across the entire day.

Certainly, equity bears should be desperate for a daily close back under the 50dma.

Right now, best downside case looks to be the 200dma... in the sp'2010s, but yes... even that will be difficult to reach... a mere 3% lower.

*awaiting the EIA report (10.30am)... along with the FOMC minutes (2pm).

notable early strength: TSLA +3.0% @ $209
