The main indexes are holding moderate gains, with the sp'500 looking set for a daily close in the low 1840s. VIX is naturally weak, -3.8% in the low 13s. Metals are weak, Gold -$10, Silver -1.8%
NYSE, daily
Summary
*In addition to the weird VIX action early this morning, I just noticed another kooky spike - or whatever you want to call it, this time on the NYSE comp.
For those that read my weekend reports (you get a prize if you read every word)...the NYSE just printed a spike print in the low 11000s, which is my upside target for the late spring - along with sp'1950/2050.
Are the algo-bots trying to tell us something?

Meanwhile...RIG is trying to make a break for it.
Yours truly..has already been gods damn patient with that one. I remain seeking an exit in the 52/54 zone.

Notable weakness in the coal miners, with some of them breaking key support.

2.14pm.. Ford in trouble...bear flag...
headed for the low 14s..
-
2.20pm.. Anyone getting overly excited about the little down wave? Market should hold around 1833/32..old resistance..now support.
Regardless, bears had their chance for 1820/18 yesterday/early today..and couldn't even manage that.
