The market gapped up and kept on going until very late in the day. SPX was briefly above the 10/11 low before some selling kicked in. Breadth was +70%. New highs were 12. New lows dropped to 297. Interesting volume pattern. The volume yesterday saw a slight decrease from the 10/11 low. Today's rebound saw nearly as much volume as yesterday and well more then the 10/12 rebound day. This chart looks capable of supporting a decent bounce. The trouble may be the earnings that came out after the close.
As I write this the futures are down 36 points from the 4 PM close. GOOG and AMZN had very negative reactions. With the futures down this much there probably were others as well. Who knows where they will be by morning though.
The red count dropped, but remains near oversold levels.
The SPX chart looks decent for a bounce. Where the futures will be by the open is anybody's guess. There could be better reports before the open that helps the bulls. As long as we don't close below today's low the bulls will have a chance to rally the troops.
I wonder if this comment from the BOJ was aimed at the FED.
- Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Masazumi Wakatabe said that trying to burst an asset bubble with tighter monetary policy could tip an economy into a serious recession.
More signs of the struggling global economy.
- Germany's ifo Institute noted that growing uncertainties will likely prevent the German economy from reaching the 0.6% growth forecast for the fourth quarter, but the GDP growth forecast for 2018 was left unchanged at 1.7%.
