Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. Futures have largely recovered from overnight lows (sp -27pts), but are still a little weak, sp -6pts, we're set to open at 2061. Metals are seeing minor gains to begin Q2, Gold +$1. Oil, +0.1%, ahead of the latest EIA report.

Summary

*I wanted to highlight the bigger weekly cycle, as a reminder of the broader trend. Even a move to the sp'1960/40 zone would not negate the broader downward trend. The equity bull maniacs have a full 5% of buffer zone before any sig' technical damage is done.

ADP jobs: 189k net gains.. but that is a clear miss.. market was expecting 230k.
-

So.... Tuesday afternoon saw a key break... and we're set to see some follow through. Equity bears could do with a daily close <2050.. whether today.. or tomorrow.... along with VIX in the 16/17s.
-

notable early strength: TWTR +1.4%

Good wishes for Wednesday trading!

9.37am.. Bears making some early progress...  minor gap filled.. and 2050s due.
