Yesterday Was A Top

The gap down confirms my suspicions that yesterday was likely the top for this countertrend move started from last Friday.  I don't expect us to fall straight down today ahead of the President's Day holiday.  I expect choppy trading, but with a negative bias.  The euro weakness is giving a big hint that the market is not ready to make another up move.  I think the big move on the downside will start early next week as the Greece non-news is digested.

I would short any strength in the first hour of trade as I think it will be unsustainable.  It is a good time to get short and stay short.

  3. Owl, this huge intraday rally is becoming a tradition.
    Don't you think it shows significant market strength ?

  5. Rather than intraday rallies, I would say that trading above 1080 resistance is a sign of strength. And we are not trading above 1080.
