Midday Market Commentary For 07-25-2013
By noon the averages had done the sea-saw and were once again recovering from the sessions lows but not quite matching the previous highs. This could be considered a bearish activity when you have lower highs and lower lows, but this the casino market – remember?
By 12:30 the averages seemed to be on the cusp of going in one direction, but it is anyone’s guess which way that will be. My indicators are pointing at a near term of 80% sell.
The spread has been mostly narrow today making it difficult to gauge trading strategies and suggest you sit on your hands and not guess.
The DOW at 12:30 is at 15503 down 39 or -0.25%.
The SP500 is at 1685 down 0.85 or -0.04%.

The $RUT is at 1049 up 5.73 or 0.55%.
NASDAQ is at 3596 up 16 or 0.46%.
