AS I SEE IT: The market moved sharply lower on the New Home Sales Report this morning. The Dow fell 113.84 points and the June E-mini S&P futures were 13.25 lower before finding support. From there the market rallied all the way back up, going positive right before the close. This market has been very strong, and even though it bent today it couldn’t be broken down. The market should trade higher unless today’s low is taken out.
