AS I SEE IT: The market did sell-off a little today because of higher Oil prices, and because it was short-term overbought. It started out a little higher but drifted lower after the first 2 hours of trading. Higher Oil prices could put a lid on the market for a while if prices rise, but this is still a very strong market that only needs a little good news to keep the rally going.

There are gaps under the S&P prices that will fill, but as long as the momentum is up it could take a while. Soaring Phoenix Market Day Trading Strategies keep traders buying and selling with the momentum of the day.
