Suffice to add, VIX is now sustainably in the mid teens... sub teens look due at some point before year end, not least if sp' breaks >2134.

Summary
*closing hour action: minor chop, a touch of weakness to 2084, but then battling higher.
Price structure is a clear baby bull flag.. bodes for an opening gap higher on Monday into the 2100s.
--
... and another week comes to a close.
Having fallen 3% last week.. and here we are.. net higher by around 3%. All those still touting a broadly bearish outlook... really... still?
The broader trend IS bullish.. or maybe you'd like to short AAPL, DIS, BAC, or INTL?
Have a good weekend

*the usual bits and pieces across the evening.. to wrap up the week.

Summary
*re: oil... those gains of 2.0% sure didn't last long, set for a net weekly decline of around -1.0%

Short term.. its a mixed picture in equity land, price structure remains a clear baby bull flag.. but the hourly MACD cycle is turning negative.
Broadly though... new historic highs are on their way before year end.

.. the entire series will be available at midnight. I'm not sure whether I can manage 13 hours of TV this weekend, I'll give it a damn good try though.

Meanwhile... CMG is having problems with E-coli.
A pretty fierce afternoon collapse wave of 9%... trying to find support, but on the broader daily chart.. next support is not until the gap zone of $475/450.... which is clear 10% lower.
