10am update - opening reversal

US equities open a little higher, but have seen a notable reversal right from the start. Hourly equity cycles are set to see a bearish cross at some point tomorrow morning. VIX is similarly offering an opening reversal candle from 23.09.... first target is the 26.50/27.00 gap zone.

Summary

*EXITED AAPL-short from $108.20 just earlier... so.. that is one position dropped ahead of the weekend. 4 to go.
--

So... today is set to see some chop.. but more importantly...  an hourly down cycle is setting up for tomorrow.

Very hard to say whether we'll be trading under sp'1900... but a down cycle IS due before the weekend.

Those currently still short (myself included).. should get opportunity to exit at better levels before the Friday close.
--

notable weakness... AAPL -1.9%


The daily chart shows little sign of underlying strength... but I'm more than content to be out of that one.
