Have a look at the critical support top of the trend channel now that we are more than an hour into today’s session:
A couple of ways this could play out: A reverse higher bounce off the trend line. But we could also sink under, then come up to the trend top and fall apart.
The good news, such as it is? Well, could get a hell of a lot worse if we’re back to following entrainment with 1929:
Good luck to us all going into the close. May need it.

A datapoint…
With all the (justified) anger and outrage at Komedy Kops at all levels, let’s keep some perspective. While there is no shortage of dumb-ass thinking and raw laziness, there is also some brilliant thinking and effective anticipation.
Emergencies and acts of terror and madness are very difficult for normal minds to out-think. They do their best, but, unfortuntely, that isn’t always enough. The black swan crazyman can surprise the brightest — and all too often, does.
As just one small example of smartness that HAS been anticipated, Connecticut (and I assunme numerous other stas) have a bunch of “S.T.O.C.S. boxes.” (This is not widely publicized, but it is not confidential.)
STOCS boxes are rugged road-case mounted groups of synthesized cop radios — usually one on each “police band” frequency allocation. (Low-band, High-band, UHF, 700, and 900 mHz radios. These are all expensive excellent, flexible, and reliable radios, tied together to “cross-band repeat,” in order to “on-the-fly” inter-tie the various public safety and service radios on-site together to serve an event. This effectively brings all the various radios into interconnectedness as One System.
They may have had such a facility in Ohio recently, or not — I wouldn’t know. My knowledge of these is over seven years old; but I’m sure they’re still in service. They’ve probably evolved and improved and become more common — I would expect that. We, in CT , had a LOT of them, widely deployed in hot-shelf standby.
Just so it’s recognized that while there is a lot of dim-bulb and lazy thinking, there is also some brilliance out there. They — we — try to do our best.
Secret Service Agents in Butler communicated via text app on their cellphones. There were no direct comms between the various agencies — only 3rd party relay and telephone.

Some reason I am drawn to watch the U S debt clock. Yesterday @ 9:00 pm eastern debt clock showed US debt at $35trillion012 billion. Wake up and it’s $35trillion125billion. What’s up?
The debt is up. Obviously the tooth fairy left $113 billion under somebody’s pillow while you slept.
I have been listening to the bread price discussions. I don’t buy loaf bread very often. I have found that English muffins do well in the freezer. I get a package of 6 from Winco for $1.48. They come in white, wheat and sourdough. I like the sourdough when I can get it.
Nuke for 15 seconds to allow it to be split, butter, and nuke to taste.
The Winco loaf bread is a smallish loaf for $0.98. It comes in white, wheat, and split top honey wheat. Apparently the honey wheat is popular, because it was almost sold out. All the other bread brands seemed a lot more expensive. I go to Winco for staples, and other stores to get specialty items. One local store gives an extra senior discount on Tuesday and Thursday. They have a really good selection of frozen stuff, and have frequent specials. It isn’t unusual for me to have 20% discount on the tab from that store, which makes it more competitive with Winco. I have tried to do business with Wally World, but their staples aren’t that cheap, and their specialty items aren’t that good. I have found some good holiday specialty items like smoked turkeys there. But do shop around.
What are the ingredients?
Here, in the states, most all English muffins have seed oils, high fructose corn syrup, and other nasty ingredients and preservatives.
That kind of bread product will make you sick, jack up your sugar numbers.
No matter your age, cheaper isn’t always better.
IF you have time on your hands, bake fresh bread.
Main Ingredients:
Enriched unbleached wheat flour (Wheat flour with malted barley flour)
Water
Yeast
Less than 2% each of the following:
Cornmeal
Sugar
Salt
Distilled Vinegar
Vegetable Oil
Plus the usual yeast nutrients and conditioners
preservatives and mold inhibitors.
No high fructose corn syrup
No seed oils
Nothing you don’t see in a loaf of bread off the shelf..
And sometimes cheaper is better.
English muffin paranoia is a new one.
