Summary

*VIX update from Mr T. posted late.. see previous post.

A somewhat tiresome end to the week... and month.

Equity price structure is a viable bearish wedge on the hourly cycle, but I realise some would argue against that.

Regardless of where we close today... a bullish week, but with a lower high.. and a lower low - at least for all indexes.. except the Transports.

-
notable weakness: oil/gas drillers, RIG -3.3%, SDRL -4.0%


1.32pm.. Bearish MACD cross on the hourly cycle... imminent.
