3pm update - melting into the weekend

US indexes look set to close the week with some very minor price chop. However, across the week, it has been about broad, and somewhat significant upside of around 1%. The Monday spike floor of sp'1850 is now a fair way lower, and the sp'1900s still look due next week.

Summary

*stripping away all the labels/counts....we have a weekly chart of net gains, and the third green candle.
-

Barring a break <1850..and more importantly, the 1814 low, equity bears should probably be on 'trading account preservation mode'.
-

*I will hold heavy long across the weekend, not least since a few of my stocks have earnings next Tue/Wednesday.
-

updates into the close..although really, I don't expect any major swings..either way.
-

3.12pm.. watching clown finance TV, with Santelli and Liesman.....gotta love it!

Minor up wave..back to the sp'1883...and even a few of my longs finally turned green for the day.


3.20pm.. VIX melting lower...set to close in the 12s.


3.25pm.. Here is a somewhat random question, but did Ms. Eisen on CNBC, get a mind wipe, when she transferred from Bloomberg?

I realise they are largely reading from a tele-script, but really, what a change!

Meanwhile...metals are cooling a little.. Gold +$11.


3.40pm.. minor chop continues...Mr Market just washing a few of the weaker bulls out... nothing more. Strong support in the 1875/70 zone...bears won't be able to break that...at least not today!

VIX 13.03...still set to settle in the 12s.
