Summary

*a minor touch of strength into the close, but nothing of significance.
--

So.. equity bulls failed to break a new cycle high, but neither did the bears show any downside power.

Market remains clawing 'broadly higher', even a move to the 50dma in the 2050s next week will do nothing to the broader trend.
