AS I SEE IT: The market sold off very early this morning but once again rallied up to resistance before rolling over mid-day. The S&P continued to trade down below my day-trading resistance levels, and the short-term support numbers were broken this afternoon too. Intermediate and long term numbers are still bullish for me this evening. The market would have to take out today’s high to turn the day-trading and short-term Soaring Phoenix Market trading strategies higher.

The E-mini S&P, Nasdaq 100, Grains and the Oil market had very nice day-trading patterns today. The August Oil contract had a $1.90 cent range today.
