AS I SEE IT: The S&P likes to follow patterns, so today’s market movement was the same as yesterday’s early this morning. Government reports rallied the market, then profits were taken at resistance and the market sold off. The middle of the day was sideways, and there was a small rally stopping out weak shorts on the close. The market continues to be overbought and interest rates are slowly going higher almost everyday but so far it hasn’t stopped the buyers.

I will be selling a higher overnight market over the weekend and I’ll buy it back at today’s closing price. Throughout the day I follow our day-trading strategies to profit from the market.
