AS I SEE IT: The short-term oversold market yesterday turned into a return of the bull market run today. The Oil market fell over two dollars, and after much higher interest rates overnight the Bond market rallied back up most of the day today. The very heavy volume in the E-mini S&P just kept the day-trading trend moving up today. I thought there would be some selling near the close but it didn’t happen. Now I’ll have to see what happens in the overnight market early Monday morning to see if this market still wants to trade higher, or if the Friday run was just a snap-back rally.

The market will have large heavy volume days for a while now. The tremendous ranges are very good for day-traders, so I hope all of you in this day-trading business are making a lot of money now.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
