Summary

If you'd offered any bear pre-market, declines of today's size, they'd have been delighted. Yet, here we are..and its somewhat disappointing (to me at least). The Monday low of sp'1427 is still intact, and until we take that out, the bulls remain in control.

The one really bearish aspect are the weekly charts - and I'll cover those over the weekend.

Have a good weekend!

*More later in the evening though...with the closing updates for the usual stuff.
