Summary

A pretty interesting day to watch. Bears saw a new low of 1779, and bulls at least are still comfortably holding the 1770s.

Right now, the notion of anything <1770 still looks unlikely.

Broader trend remains very much to the upside, and the bigger monthly charts offer dow 16500, with sp'1840s.
