Summary

By today's close, equity bears just need <2100 to break rising trend... and if we're going to have a chance of reaching the 2065/61 zone by the Friday close, we really do need to close net lower today.

Cyclically, the setup favours the bears, with the MACD equity cycle set to see a bearish cross this morning.
