Summary

*closing hour action: renewed upside, a touch of cooling in the closing minutes, but price structure remains a clear bear flag.
--

Suffice to add... the fourth consecutive net daily decline, with today being the first sig' decline since Sept'28th.

Further weakness to the 2020s looks very likely, but that will clearly take some days.. and probably drag into next week.
