AS I SEE IT: The market sold off early following the overnight markets lead. Then it rallied back to unchanged prices before selling off a little into the close. Volume was light and trading ranges were small as the market continues to wait for more earnings reports.
The sideways indecision of the market will change soon as more earnings come out. For now our short term trading strategies are up while the intermediate and long term strategies are pointing down. The May Oil Futures contract closed at 17.48 a barrel with the June contract trading at 116.83. I believe if Oil prices stay here or go higher the market is going to have a hard time holding any advance.
I HOPE YOU MADE MONEY TODAY!
Have as much fun trading as I do!
