We finally had an oversold bounce after a poor open.  But for two days straight, the S&P 500 had a swarm of sellers showing up in the last 30 minutes of trading.  Are traders uncomfortable about carrying positions over night?  The S&P 500 is still below its 50-day simple moving average and in need of a spark to continue the bounce.  Perhap end of month and new month seasonality will provide some catalysts.
