Midday Market Commentary For 09-25-2013
The morning markets did not fall as predicted, but rose out of the red into solid green territory lending itself to a nice shorting position.
By noon possible daily highs had been reached and the averages started to melt downward again as it looks like the HFT folks are jerking the numbers around on anemic volume. Little market news to move markets one way or another, but the algo computers will make sure we keep on guessing.
Watch the market numbers just before the close, could offer some solid ETF shorting possibilities. The short term indicators move to the high side in instances like this, however this casino market is full of surprises.
As of noon, the short term indicators are showing a 60% to 85% sell and a 15% to 20% buy. Long term remains 50-50 and not a reliable forecasting tool.
The DOW at 12:15 is at 15349 up 14 or 0.09%.
The SP500 is at 1700.39 up 3 or 0.18%.
SPY is at 169.80 up 0.27 or 0.16%.
