Summary

Equity/VIX price action is increasingly swinging in favour to the equity bears.

It is now merely a case of how we close the week/month.

*marginally amusing to see the cheerleaders on clown finance TV already getting a touch twitchy. How many days until they start asking 'was sp'2111 a key mid term high?'

notable strength, DIS, daily


Despite the somewhat weak main market, Disney is making a serious play to break above multiple aspects of resistance in the $104s. A daily close in the $105s should spook the bears.. and open up the 112/114 zone.
