• The S&P failed to break above its 50-day moving average, and QQQ was trapped below key trend lines with a 41.7 RSI.
• The 10-year yield at 4.97% makes capital expensive and selective, favoring large players like Broadcom, which was up 2.2% to $336.50.
• Action codes CRT (controlled risk taking) and T3A (think three days ahead) call for smaller sizing and positioning for Wednesday's FOMC decision and mega cap earnings.
