....and that concludes July, a month of general chop - 1991/52 zone... but breaking lower on the last day.

What to make of today? Difficult to say, although we now have a great many ugly daily charts, and some of the weekly cycles are also problematic (in terms of the broader upward trend).

Thanks for all the comments today.... its helped keep me awake.

Have a good evening
