Up and down and all around.

Today we had a news that "Europe will be saved" and that helped bulls to take control again. Tomorrow is another day and anything can happen. We can break above Monday's high or we can go below today's low. More news from Europe, more earnings, GDP and jobless claims are all going to add the fuel to the move.
If you are bearish here remember that operation "Twist" or QE3 began on Oct. 4, 2011 and the market has gone up since with no or little pause. I'm going into tomorrow with neutral bias, and try to stay in the moment of opportunity flow, trading my patterns as they develop.

There is a way to play.....

Some of the S&P500 stocks to report earnings this week.
Tomorrow will probably be the biggest day of the week for earnings with Bank of America (BAC) and Goldman Sachs (GS) set to report in the morning and Apple (AAPL) and Intel (INTC) set to report after the close.  Morgan Stanley (MS) and United Technologies (UTX) will report Wednesday morning followed by eBay (EBAY) in the afternoon.  AT&T (T), Philip Morris (PM), Chipotle (CMG), Microsoft (MSFT) and Sandisk (SNDK) will report on Thursday, and General Electric (GE) and McDonald's (MCD) will wrap up the week on Friday.

Hmmm !

Contraction or a narrower range is usually followed by higher volatility move.

Next !



In a usual situation this kind of two day rally would be followed by a consolidation period, but we are in a very different juncture here and what typically works may not be all that helpful. Keep your mind objectively focused in the now moment opportunity flow and remember, price rules over everything else in trading.

Today we had a classic bear market type activity.


Now we need to watch price to find out if the turn around rally was mostly short covering or there is some new buying in it.
