Market Analysis

Forget the notion that the markets might be calm this week Or the idea that the markets might be engage in some friendly window dressing to close out the first half of the year. Because it has been anything but that. In fact, I would go on to say that it has been the most

I barely remember the sell-off that ‘alledgedly’ happened yesterday.  People say that there was one, but I can’t take their word for certain. The buy-the-dip crowd  would never allow such a thing.  Don’t believe me? Take a look at the charts below – nothing ever happened yesterday.  S&P 500 (SPY) Dip Buy Nasdaq (QQQ) Dip Buy

Is it time to reverse for the market or will we keep trucking higher?  I came into today knowing that the bulls had to hold the 20-day moving average. That has been a level of support for them of late, and if they blew through it, that things could certainly get dicey.
