So... we're close to breaking rising trend... and I realise some will now be top calling.

However, equity bears still face the ECB and FOMC. Both of those offer threat of another lurch higher... for one final wash out.

For the moment, I still see no hurry, not least as the daily/weekly cycles are going to require more than just a single day of downside to turn.

Have a good Tuesday
