Today is profitable, but God in heaven it’s boring. The buy-the-dip crowd is committed to destroying the market utterly, and as usual the lows of the day were established at the opening bell. So let’s just say my heart’s not really in it.
As a comment cleaner, I’ll just throw out the symbol $HSI which is the Hang Seng Index. It’s near the pre-financial crisis highs of 2007, yet its long-term trendline is broken and it’s mushed right up against the underside of the same line. Just another data point to suggest that weakness lies ahead, although it’s quite apparent such a body of evidence is having trouble against the BTFD mob.
