Summary

A very annoying day...and unlike yesterday afternoon, there is currently zero sign of a turn/renewed cooling.

The 2075 high is not looking so secure anymore.

If the market likes the next set of inventory reports... the bears are going to get washed out.... without even seeing a basic retrace to the 2020/10s.

notable movers...

CHK +34%
SDRL +26%

.. both stocks remain utterly smashed though... and SDRL is ironically barely half of the price it was from the most recent hyper ramp.
