Summary

*awaiting ADP jobs data.
--

Short term trend remains bullish of course, but cyclically, we're now well into overbought territory. With the monthly jobs this Friday, Mr Market is going to have a perfect excuse to break lower... and begin the retrace I've been touting for some time.

It should be clear to many though... the underlying upside power is rather extreme, and any retrace is not going to go much below 2020.

notable early movers...

TSLA +8% @ $225. which considering the earnings, 58 cent loss... is ludicrous. The stock should be trading <$200.
