Afternoon Note
It is another very cautious market, but tech is trying to pick up momentum. Lots of intrigue as the strength in utilities points to general anxiety. Weakness in financials point to less confidence that big banks will blow away Wall Street consensus as they kick off earning season tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile the amount of buzz for the Coinbase offering is off the charts. It is going to be explosive. Some will use it as proof the end is near, while others will use it to point to a new revolutionary era in the financial world.
