1pm update - still within near term up trend

Equities continue to hold within the near term up trend, having ramped from sp'1820 to 1898. VIX has so far managed to hold the key 20 threshold. Oil is holding moderate gains, +0.4%, but well below opening levels.

Summary

Suffice to say, 3 hours to go of what has been a wacky week.

Right now, equity bears need a daily close <1880...if not 1870 to offer some hope for early next week.
