BMO - ES +1.75 and NQ +0.50 futures are up slightly in pre-market trading about an hour before the open, indicating a flat opening. If cash markets open near Tuesday's close and move higher look for a resumption of the short term trend. If they move lower and break short term support levels, break the low of the high day or inside day look for a continuation of Tuesday's pull back. We'll be watching the following stocks: At the Open on Wednesday – SPY – bearish harami VNO – spinning top, consolidation at 30 DMA ARO – confirmed bullish harami/hammer MS – shooting star at horizontal resistance ESS – consolidation at 50 DMA GS – shooting star doji at 200 DMA resistance SNDA – breakout close above 37 horizontal resistance OSG – close below low of high day above low of bearish engulfing CTSH – moves lower in bull flag LEAP – white spinning top new high close X – 30 DMA breakout…double bottom target $25.08

Dave,

Seems like the price action today is a cautious one. Knee-jerk short covering and the then a leg in back to the short market. Also seems like everyone is waiting for tomorrow's big GDP day.

As we come closer to the end of the quarter, what should I expect with this quacky market? If it were totally bearish, I'd expect the fundies to dump some bad performing stocks. And if this is now seen as a slightly bullish market, I would expect some end of the quarter buying in some of the good names.

In either case I expect some selling to start on Wed of next week. Need some sanity in this insane world...sanity check please. Am I getting close or totally off base?

aloha,
eric
