AS I SEE IT: The market traded higher in overnight trading, but when the New Homes Sales Report came out very weak this morning the S&P started selling off. It closed the opening price gap, traded sideways for a couple hours, and then traded down near support before rallying mid day.
Volume was light and traders had a chance to really push stock prices lower today. Because they didn’t I don’t think this was a bad close. There will be light volume on the shortened trading day Monday so prices can be pushed in either direction.
I HOPE YOU HAD A VERY PROFITABLE TRADING WEEK!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
There is a reason some traders don’t have as much fun trading as I do!
