Summary

*closing hour action: a little chop, and leaning on the downside.

Little to add.. on what was a pretty tedious day.

Rising trend is clearly still intact... but once broken... equity bears should see at least see 3-4 days lower. The only issue is whether we can briefly trade under the 2K threshold in what is a long overdue retrace.

yours... trying to be patient.
