Summary

*closing hour action: a lot of very nano scale chop.. but pushing upward into the close.
--

So, moderate declines to begin the short 4 day week.

Price structure IS a baby BEAR flag... and I'd give a probability of around 70% that we'll briefly drop to the sp'2042/36 zone tomorrow.. before pushing back upward.

Eyes on Asia overnight. If China is lower for a fourth consecutive day... that sure won't help!
