Summary
Just another day in market land, where we opened a little lower, but as ever..the bears are pretty much powerless, and the market saw minor chop for the entire day.
The hourly charts are sporting a very clear bull flag, a break >1812 will confirm it.
Underlying MACD (blue bar histogram) cycle is close to flooring, and will likely tick higher across Wed/Thursday.
