Summary

Suffice to say.. it remains painfully tedious.
-

Notable weakness, CHK  *weekly cycle...

Nothing bullish in this one... looks set to return back to the lows from summer 2012.
-

2.26pm... renewed weakness.. sp -5pts to 2108....  soft support at 2103/00...

A daily close <2100 would be significant.. and (finally) open the door to the target zone of 2060/50s. 


2.30pm ... Oil is collapsing, -4.6% in the $48s... and this is certainly helping offer the chance of a key break.

Notable weakness: SDRL -2.3%... although earnings were certainly 'better than expected'
