Friday brought sellers out in droves, and while there are plenty of ways for this market to break-down, I believe we’re short term oversold and will be looking for a bounce into next week.
The Long and Short of It
Timing is everything, and in a two-sided market they’ll try to keep SPY above 390 tomorrow. While we could correct further the better short is back at the mean. If strength does end up being more the order of the day there’s one name to look to, and these are the levels for it.
How to dominate daytrading for an hour.
