AS I SEE IT: Overnight the market traded higher early, but sold down below yesterday’s E-mini S&P closing price before the regular market session opened. There was a small rally on the open and then the market rolled over and started selling off. There were a few small rallies that didn’t hold until near the close when the market rallied back up to the first resistance price. The down day today took the market below the last five days lows.

The Transports were hit hard today as Oil hit $112.21 a barrel at the high of the day. Earnings and the Oil market should move the market in coming days.

I HOPE YOU MADE MONEY TODAY!

Have as much fun trading as I do!
