EB Watch List Update Report
Dear Members:
Market Update:
The market has perked up after a sluggish start to the day with all of the major indexes higher. The problem for the bulls is they've dug quite a hole for themselves in a highly volatile market. So each time a decent rally starts traders are forced to consider taking profits as they can disappear fast. The bulls are hoping that the turnaround in the Dow today could be the beginning of a more sustained rally or in the very least indicate the worst of the selling is over. But as long as the VIX remains at elevated levels that will be a challenge. At a minimum the S&P will need to clear its 200 day moving average, currently at 2762 for the bulls to have any shot at regaining momentum. As long as it remains below that level the bears will continue to call the shots.
