CURRENT MARKET SENTIMENT
A
kiss of death on Wednesday led to resuscitation on Thursday only to be back at the precipice on Friday, leaving the indices to finish below the weekly pivot at 9972 Dow and 1072 S&P. Will Monday test the point of no return 9900-9920 prior to the big Kahuna-
GDP number (3% expected) or, is there room for the shake and bake until that time? Everyone is expecting 11% correction, with no insurance policy taken on the downside, we expect a volatile week. Monday might be a picture perfect replica of Thursday.
PRISM CALL
This weak we are expecting alot of choppiness, so take profits as you have it. The market will probably show little overall direction before Thursday. My bias is to the upside, so be careful shorting. Any down move will probably be controlled. Until real selling pressure comes in, this market won't sell off. INDU & SPUZ TECHNICALS
