Summary

*closing hour.. a fair bit of minor chop.. enough to spook some of the weaker bulls, but then a rather clear short-stop cascade in the closing 10 minutes... breaking new cycle highs.
--

A pretty dynamic day.. a lot of chop.. but underlying upside.

Market looks set to gap higher tomorrow.. the 1960/70s look viable.

*I hold long-AAPL overnight.. seeking the 114/115s... before the weekend.

more later... on the VIX
