Summary

On any basis, we're now getting toppy, trading above the upper bol' on the weekly.
Notable weakness, BTU -2.3%

*all things considered, I've no interest in getting involved. From a pure price perspective, this morning is a valid short, but the equity bears have no downside power, and at best...1920..maybe 1900.

10.18am..I'd call a top here...at least on a micro-cycle basis.
