Summary

The hourly MACD (blue bar histogram) equity cycle is set to turn positive at the open, and will likely tick higher into the afternoon.

Equity bulls should be pushing for a daily close in the 1950s within the next 3 trading days.

Once that is achieved, it should be a straight run to 2000/2020s by mid March.
