My Observations and What to Expect:
- Futures are moderately higher
- Today will mark the fifth time we have attempted to break through the downward trend-line, the last four times have been unsuccessful. Today it stands at 1104 on the S&P .
- Though futures are up, the gap doesn’t look like something that can hold once the equities markets open.
- Came close yesterday to testing the 200-day moving average.
- The bear kill-switch resides on a break of 1130.
- A close below 1091 today would likely lead to additional selling next week.
Actions I Will Be Taking:
