My take, market is being pumped in order to escape.Got it.
Sure, we did indeed close lower than we opened, but personally, I would rather focus on the fact that we closed higher than yesterday and close to top of the weekly range.
Thursday gap up with a lower close and a positive change on the day have an average change of + 0,30 % the following day with a 60 % chance of a positive close on the day.
So, on that basis alone it's not particularly bearish, IMO.
Gap ups do the job nicely
