Summary

US equities opened in minor chop mode, but it was enough for the SPX to print a new historic high of 3726. From there... a reversal, with broad cooling into the late afternoon.

Tom Lee of Fundstrat capturing further attention. A 10/15% main market correction within Q1/Q2 does seem very probable, and I'd further agree a secondary push to new hist' highs >4300 appears equally likely.

The closing hour saw the SPX print 3685, but recovering to settle at 3709.

TSLA, 1min, 1 day

A closing hour doesn't get much wilder than that, as Tesla (as of AH) is being made part of the SPX 500 and 100.

Volatility picked up to 23.77, but with a closing hour equity recovery, VIX settled -1.6% to 21.57.
