Summary

It was another day for the equity bulls, with new historic highs for the Nasdaq comp' (6036), and the R2K (1415).

For the sp'500, the closing hour break above big resistance of 2380/90 was very significant, and offers a monthly close around the 2400 threshold.

Volatility was itself choppy, and notably saw a new cycle low of 10.22. The key 20 threshold looks out of range for some months.
