CURRENT MARKET SENTIMENT
The indices struggled to finish flat at 10390 (Dow) and 1103 (S&P). With no expected economic data, except for the President’s commentary on Jobs, the futures are pointing south due to further
sovereign debt default. Once again, would investors shake off the news as the first news of Dubai? Technically, the S&P must hold at 1096 in order to have a chance to end the week on a positive note.
PRISM CALL
Market sold off hard due to fear of more sovereign nation default. Gold and oil are down nicely as well. The anomalies are to buy the lows for a quick bounce. The next low is 1091. If that holds, 1091 -1096 will be the demarcation line. Be a buyer of the first move.
