US equities are battling to hold slight gains, but we do have a daily reversal for the R2K/Nasdaq..which is an especially bullish aspect for next week. Equity bulls should be seeking a cose in the sp'1870s, which will just about keep the weekly cycle to outright bullish.

Summary
A closing green candle..is pretty important in my view, and for that, we need 1871 or higher.
--
Notable weakness: SDRL, -3.2% @ $34.80s (I'm long from $35.10s this morning). A touch annoying, but I'd rather hold SDRL than RIG.
SDRL, 60min
It should at least level out by $34.60 or so...or it could be a problem.
--
CHK +1.7%..and I might drop that in the closing hour..esp' if >$30.
-
Overall though, equity bears just look powerless, and market looks poised to push higher next week.
-
2.35pm.. minor chop..and market is so far able to hold the sp'1870s.
SDRL...is battling to put in a floor in the $34.50s - just above the 50 day MA..along with rising support.
