Summary

closing hour action: increasing chop, but with a new intra low of 2040.
--

So much for the Monday gains.. almost fully negated.

The rest of this week should get real interesting.

Yes.. opex will usually (85/95%) of the time bode in favour to the equity bulls, but, there are exceptions.

Last week's candle was red.. with a clear spike, and (in theory) a weekly close around the giant psy' level 2K would actually be somewhat natural.
