I have a quick errand to run this am so I will leave you with David Elliott’s thoughts.
Per David Elliott of www.wallstreetteachers.com :

Today is option expiration and on this day and prior to earning’s release I discount technical analysis because anything can happen. 880 is the number for the day again on the ESM9 (SP500 emini) chart. The sell off I was looking for late yesterday afternoon started and has been selling [...]

Well what now, who knows and traders should not care if they are traders because traders trade the tape and take the opportunities the market gives them everyday. Keep it simple and stupid and do not fall into the trap of trying to become a economist to justify your [...]
