Summary

closing hour action: minor chop around the sp'2100 threshold.

Well, it was not the kind of weakness (even moderate) that I was seeking.. but then, with new cycle highs, it was always going to be another day for the equity bulls.

To me, its merely a case of whether we can see some weakness across the next 3 days... and attain a weekly close in the 2060s.

If that is the case.. then there is still a chance for the bears to close the month on a somewhat negative note.

yours... (overly?) resilient.
