SPX -76.08, 7,457, opened lower, closed above its open forming a inverted hammer candle pattern, pulling back from horizontal resistance.  The SPX and NDX remain in their 7-week sideways channels.  Breadth weakened as decliners led on both the NYSE and NASDAQ exchanges.

Semiconductor stocks, which had strong upward momentum until June 22, moved lower again on Friday.

SK Hynix ADR, SKHY, closed 154.03, +1.13% on its sixth trading day.  IPO was at 149.  SK Hynix is a profitable company with over $65 billion in revenues (larger than SPCX) and $28 billion in annual profit.  The ADR is speculative because as a new IPO does not have a track record to evaluate.

SpaceX, SPCX, closed at 123.99, -5.43%. Our view is that SPCX, with no earnings, is an overvalued speculation.  IPO at 135 on June 12.
