Summary

A pretty interesting day, having broken a new cycle high of sp'1949, but with a rather strong swing of over 1%.

There is a rather obvious gap to fill, and market should find support in the 1910/00 zone.. where the 200 dma is also lurking.

Outlook is for broader upside into next week... we still look set for 1950/60s.. which would probably equate to VIX melting into the 15/14s.
