EB Watch List Update Report
Dear Members:
Market Update
Another solid jobs report this morning with all of the major indexes higher as we get set to close out the week. Just like we've seen for many months now when the NASDAQ and S&P tested their respective 20 day moving averages they held with traders once again more than willing to deploy capital on the dip. And the VIX is down over 10% as trader confidence has shifted just a day after it was showing some concerns had resurfaced. The little bout of selling we did see the past few sessions helped to let some steam out of stocks; that's a good thing if you're bullish as none of the major indexes is now technically overbought. The S&P got as high as 2954 earlier in the week so that is now resistance. To the downside the S&P held perfectly at 2900 on the selling yesterday. That's the current trading range with the nod still going to the bulls.
