AS I SEE IT: Overnight markets were lower again and when the opening bell sounded on the NYSE the drop continued in earnest. The market did get a little rally mid-day but sold off again into the close. The Dow and E-mini S&P closed below recent lows, but the Nasdaq did not. Market internals were very negative again today.

The volatility continues as expected, so day-traders are having a good time in these markets. We are getting near a time of the year when it is possible to get large reversals, so here at Soaring Phoenix we pay special attention to market momentum along with our trading strategies.

I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD TRADING DAY TODAY!

There’s no reason you can’t have as much fun trading as I do!
