Today a red bias:
Yesterday after hour showed an upswing to exactly the last ATH from Dec 14th 2023 @ 17013 (after hours).
This all because of very good numbers for 2023. This means in the chart a double top!
Outlook: either a strong gap up on cash start and a dive - or a rally up for new highs
without closing the gap for now...
