EB Watch List Update Report

Market Update: When Apple rises 5% in a day the market takes note with the NASDAQ higher with the Dow and now in negative territory off session highs just ahead of the Fed rate decision and as the month of July nears an end. I have noticed that in spite of higher prices today the VIX is higher as well; perhaps some trepidation ahead of the Fed announcement. With AAPL's earnings out of the way we've now heard from the vast majority of large market cap stocks that matter, especially on the tech side. Which begs the question; what's next? One could argue that the market has now built in the earnings factor which is true. So other things on the minds of traders; the Fed, China, Friday's jobs report; seasonality, anything that might weigh on the market or propel it higher. The range on the S&P remains 3027 to the upside and 2993 (the 20 day) to the downside. It is quite possible we could see one of those go over the next day or two which in turn could give us more clues as to where the market is heading in the near term.
