Looks just like Feb 2-10, just playing at lower price. CPI numbers next week can crush this hopium rally.
ERs coming later likely to disappoint and guidance has hardly been rosy so far, can't expect much imo.
Stupid happy fool rally not getting much higher imo, just another bottomfishing bull trap.
Still waiting for capitulation and real panic, dip buyers not fully crushed yet. RSI back at rollover level.
Time and price projections suggest a lower low in late July. Follow the TL.
Fat Lady didn't sing yet...

PS: Overlay from 9-24 Feb. A drop of similar magnitude would carry price down ~3460; capitulation low.

A contributor remarked that screenshots of the same economic news item in popular media show it 'accounted for' both fall and rise of prices on six occasions over 24hrs, lol; here are choice others:
"US stocks were higher Thursday as jobless claims rose to their highest levels since January. " (YAY! Fed will have to ease! BUY STONKS!)
"Analysts' per-share earnings estimates for the next 12 months will likely be revised lower over the course of the Q2 earnings season, which could weigh on share prices, Oxford Economics said in a research note." (YAY! These ERs will be the worst ever, so it can't get any moar bad! BUY STONKS!)
"Wall Street benchmarks rose on Thursday, as investors reacted positively to the previous day's commentary from the U.S. Federal Reserve which hinted the central bank's aggressive pace of interest rate hikes could be tempered if growth suffered." (YAY! J-Powell will dial it back! BUY STONKS!)
Unemployment > up, inflation > up, rates > up and more hikes coming, but Hopium reaction: BUY STONKS!!! Why not?! The only game in town... testing DTL at the 50 DMA... CPI will be the test IMO

Fkg whipsawing
Comment:
I shorted the pm bounce and closed part of the position at 3:55, kept a 2 put runner. Not so confident of another massive gap, lousy CPI probably already priced in.
Bought gas n groceries today and realized price of evrything has exactly doubled in six months.

Trade closed: target reached:
Closed shorts rolled into calls for scalper trade, closed those, done and out. Gonna whipsaw and just take ur money back imo.
Comment:
Pretty limited reaction considering how lousy the CPI was; imo it was just about priced in. Gonna get a rally soon.
Comment:
Nice gapfill! LOL I carried one call...
Comment:
Red > Green; if it holds to EOD probly gonna move higher imo. NOT chasing either way.
Made bank, like to keep it!
