AS I SEE IT: Overnight the E-mini S&P sold off and when the regular trading session opened it continued to sell off a few points to overnight support before rallying back up through Friday’s close. Then it jacked back and forth until mid day before selling off to support again. There was a 10 point rally into the close. After all the up and down movement the S&P closed just a tad higher. The Dow ended the day down a few points.

This is the window dressing time of the month for the next couple days, so I want to see if the market can hold in here and maybe rally some before the next down draft.

I HOPE YOU MADE MONEY TODAY!

Have as much fun trading as I do!
