2pm update - time for another fed colouring book

US equities continue to see minor mixed chop, but the sp'500 is still holding the 1870s, with a VIX that earlier broke into the 13.80s. Metals are holding minor gains, Gold +$4. Mr Market is awaiting the latest Fed beige book.

Summary

Do you remember the colouring books you'd have as a child? I think the latest fed book will make no more sense than grabbing a red pen, and colouring in a fire engine.

Hourly MACD cycle is ticking lower, and is vulnerable to weakness into the close. Regardless of any minor weakness, primary trend remains strongly to the upside.

A fair few traders are looking for at least a minor retracement, 0.5-0.75%..perhaps the latest beige book will provide Mr Market with an excuse...

Notable strength: DRYS +4.9%, a daily close in the 4s would be highly suggestive of the 5s in the very near term.


2.03pm.. Beige book summary 'weather bad....weather bad...weather.........bad'

Market indexes creeping higher.

5/15min index cycles prone to minor upside..although the hourly is prone to weakness..so..its a bit mixed.
