Squeezing The Bear
Markets as of this AM continue to squeeze the bear as selling remains light despite intraday sell programs. These are uncomfortable ranges for the most bearish of traders as their warnings for the' worst is yet to come' is being mowed over by cheering bullside perennials. The same technical weaknesses which led to the downside free fall of earlier this year have some of the same elements present in this rally. So for traders, it is alright to be bearish, but don't be stupid. The sell opportunities will be less prevelent, but available. This market, as pointed out in a recent post , as measured by the DJIA, is headed on the half way back trail (10,000), and parts of it may feel like it is going straight up. The jobs picture will be the overpowering force this week and in the months to come. Downdrafts will appear.
