AS I SEE IT: The market gapped a little lower this morning and sold off sharply after the regular session opened. The Dow went down 200 points and the E-mini S&P fell 26.50 points checking out support. About 2:30ET there was a rumor on the floor that the Fed was going to step in and lower the Discount Rate and the markets took off. The Dow rallied 240 points from the low and the E-mini rallied 28 points. Volume on the NYSE was just average but the E-mini volume was huge because of the market reversal. Now I want to see if the snap back rally we had this afternoon continues in the morning or if the market stays in the down channel.

I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD TRADING DAY TODAY TOO!
