11am update - triple spike top... bearish

US equities have got decisively stuck at resistance of sp'2088/89... and we've seen an initial break under the 50dma of 2074. The daily cycle is offering a triple spike top... which is bearish in the immediate term. Oil is causing particular problems, -3.8% in the $51s. Metals remain weak, Gold -$5.

USO, 60min


Summary

*yes yes... I will probably highlight Oil (via USO) most hours in the days ahead, and we're already half way to target for a long-entry.
--

So.. with EIA offering a 10.9 million barrel surplus in Oil, we're seeing some broader market problems.

On balance, it looks like a daily close >2088/89 is now out of range... and bears will get another chance at taking out the key low of sp'2039.

... at least today is not dull!

notable weakness:  oil/ gas drillers, RIG/SDRL, both lower by around -2%


11.24am.. minor bounce to sp'2080... but still..  its looking weak.

Oil remains unravelling, -3.8%
