1pm update - bears still on the run

US equity indexes are holding moderate gains, and it remains the case that the bears are still on the run, since the current hyper-wave that began at sp'1074 in Oct'2011. USD is battling to break/hold the DXY 94s, +0.9%. Metals are strong (relative to USD gains), Gold +$2, with Silver +1.0%

Summary

*note the upper bollinger.. now in the 2150s. By the next FOMC, we could be in the 2170s, which would interestingly also be a tag of the upper bol' on the giant monthly cycle.
