SP 500 and NDX Futures Daily Charts


It looked as though we might get some action in stocks today, and sure enough, on the 'better than expected' news from IBM the markets rallied hard, led largely by tech. Obama and the Congress threw the market a bone and hinted that there might be a resolution to the debt ceiling 'crisis.'

So far this is just a counter trend relief rally. It may have further to go, but a downdraft is just a news headline from Europe or Washington away, so be careful.
