US equities achieve a clear break above declining resistance (from the sp'2116 high). Upside to the sp'2070/75 zone looks probable in the immediate term, before renewed threat of cooling. VIX appears headed for the 16.75/16.25 zone. Metals remain weak, Gold -$1. Oil is cooling after inventories, -0.5%.

Summary
*I've added a fib retrace to the hourly cycle. It assumes we'll max out this afternoon, and then cool.

With the break above resistance, the 2030s are now off the menu. At best.. the 2050/45 zone.
So.. a break through, and the 2019 low looks even more secure.
Anyone heavy short is facing a real problem right now. Gods help them... as the 2100s still look due.. whether a retrace or not.
