3pm update - a second day of gains

Regardless of the exact close, US equity indexes are set for a second consecutive day of net gains, with the sp' likely to settle in the 1880s... with VIX 24/25s. USD is holding sig' gains of 1.0% in the DXY 96.80s. Metals remain under strong downward pressure, Gold -$32, with Silver -3.1%.

Summary

The hourly equity chart is showing a few baby candles....its looking increasingly toppy...  as the 1871/64 zone looks viable by Thursday... not least if the next Oil inventories are again monstrous.

So.... the market is leaning bearish... for a day or two... but broadly.. we still look headed UP into next week.

notable weakness... miners, GDX, daily



Not surprisingly, miners are getting trashed as the metals are in cooling mode. Even Goldman is saying gold is now an outright sell.
