AS I SEE IT: The market sold off early this morning on the Jobless Claims report but when our regular trading session opened it started a rally that took it up on the day. Traders will be paying attention to the Employment Situation at 8:30ET tomorrow.

The market has had two days of consolidation after the strong Tuesday rally. Short term today the market wanted to continue the rally so I’ll want support prices to hold if this rally is going to continue.

I HOPE YOU MADE MONEY TODAY!

Have as much fun trading as I do!
