AS I SEE IT: The overnight market sold off sharply and when our regular session opened with a large gap down the market continued to fall. The market did trade sideways mid-day but couldn’t hold the price and continued the down trend for the day. There was a small rally near the close as shorts exited their winning positions.
In the very short term the market might be a little oversold, but I’ll be watching the market action on Monday to see if this market can rally a little before falling again.
I HOPE YOU ALL HAD A VERY PROFITABLE TRADING WEEK!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!
Have as much fun trading as I do!
