Summary

*closing hour action: micro chop... leaning on the downside.
--

Certainly, a far more interesting day than yesterday, with the first opportunity of sig' downside this coming Friday.

A weekly close in the 2060/50s, along with VIX 18/20, would offer hope of a retrace that will last a good 7-8 days.

On no realistic outlook though does sustained action look viable under the giant sp'2K threshold.
