PPI: Futures

PPI came in hot, core was tame on a YOY. Retail sales and Jobless claims were bullish. The futures fell sharply after the release of data but since have gone the other way. At this time DOW looks to open down .5% as opposed to over a percent since 8:40am. So lets see where we go. Man this market is tough, it was a nice set up to cover a little and go long has now let us in nowhere land, now we have to be patient and find the lines to enter and exit. Looking for good entry points in my opinion is the difference between goo and bad trades. You can have a great stock but you have to enter it right to make good money. There are no flukes in the markets. The competition is just way too good.

This is the lowest close seen in years, usually a sharp and violent rally follows these moves enhanced by short covering, this is no time to short and start making a shopping list.

The Dow looks like its fighting for its life here at the level. It's no surprise there was a vicious bounce off the trend line as shown in the chart. Unfortunately, the last time we had that five hundred point reversal day was caused by the Fed stepping in, there has to be a similar event that helps the market or there is more pain ahead. The Fed minutes said nothing the market really liked, we sold off hard and bounced back hard as we hit support. This was just a reflex rally we may have to get one more really painful selloff to get around 12500.
