Danger Zone
Good Morning Traders.
After the significant drop in the morning, I was pleasantly surprised to see the Bulls pull off a very nice rally recovering nearly all of the move lower. The big question is can it follow through? Last night the futures were up about 30 points, but they are now suggesting a lower open of 20 to 30 points. We are truly in the danger zone so be very careful.
On the Economic Calendar this morning we have the International Trade goods number that has the potential to move the market at 8:30 eastern. At 9 AM we have Case-Shiller report, and then 10 AM the consumer confidence number, both of which would have to be a pretty big surprise to move the market. Keep in mind; we have more Fed speakers today. On the earnings calendar, we have 78 companies reporting today.
My plan of action for today is to be very cautious. That was great to have the rally yesterday, but that rally stopped right at resistance levels. If the Bulls don’t step up and defend today, the Bears could regain direction and move use lower. I will likely sit on my hands until we have some price action clues established. I suggest extreme caution because we are in a very dangerous place where big moves are possible.

Good Morning!
The bears are hungry, and it looks like they plan to fed well today. The failure of Congress to pass a new healthcare bill is gaping the market sharply lower this morning. The selloff began in Asian markets last night and went all around the world. Quietly I was hoping why would pull off a last minute deal before today’s open but apparently they have given up at least for now.
The economic calendar events will not provide us any help today because all have are a few bond announcements and a couple of Fed speakers that still have something say after talking all last week. On the earnings front, we have 50 companies reporting today so stay on your toes.
The first order of business for me this morning is to manage the positions that I’m in. We have some very nice profits in RWO trades so let’s make sure we are taking care of that business first. Don’t act out of panic but clearly think through each position and respond as with a business frame of mind. We will now start looking for some bearish positions, but we must remember that the 1st quarter is coming to an end and the possibility of an end a window dressing rally is possible.
Have an awesome day!
