Summary

With an overnight threat of intervention in Japan, world markets built some gains, although other than Japan, the gains haven't exactly been sustained.

re: sp'60min:  break levels 2080.... which looks overly difficult.   <2039... very viable.. even by the close of today.

re: weekly'6: a notable third blue candle. A sustained break <2K should have occurred by mid June.
