Summary

*it will be kinda important for the bull maniacs to turn the weekly candle back to blue.. as it was earlier yesterday.

Frankly, I really want to see a weekly close at least in the sp'1950s.. anything under that would be a problem.
--

Equity futures were initially weak overnight, equiv' to -10pts @ 1930... very close to rising trend... from last weeks low of 1911.
--

Overnight Asia action...

Japan: -2.1% @ 18299... opening weak, with a slight recovery into the close. Considering the previous days hyper gains of 7.7%... it was an understandable retrace day.

China: -1.4% @ 3197. A broadly weak day.. and the PBOC seemed absent. On the positive side, the Shanghai comp' managed another daily close above the 3K threshold. Upside target remains the 3500/600s.... before resuming lower.

Have a good Thursday

7.35am  sp +4pts @ 1946. Not exactly inspiring, but we've a long day ahead.

DIS +0.4% in the $102.30s. A daily close in the 103s would be something.
-

8.42am.. sp -10pts... 1932... and this is starting to become a problem.

Any sustained trading <1925 will break soft rising support.... opening up last weeks 1911 low.

Best guess... we go up.. but once again.. it is a borderline situation.
-

9.16am.. sp -4pts.. 1938...

*Tepper was a good guest on CNBC just earlier.. seems he would be a heavy buyer in the 1700s.
-


9.39am.. minor weak chop....  core rising support is at 1925.

All things considered, we should be battling upward... no later than 11am. 


9.47am.. black-fail candle on the VIX.... equity bears beware!


.. time for an early lunch
