Monty, from my very narrow perspective the rally was cheesy. As usual sellers were only semi serious and vamoosed at the signs of buying entering the market. A lot of the buying that I saw was professional which IMHO will be looking to sell first thing tomorrow. If the funds and the public take the bait , their gamble will pay off. Serious selling will not enter the market until the public cease buying MF's, and actually start selling. From the little I have seen John Q take's the ostrich approach to declines and so far it has worked for 10 years.

Anyway, the buying that I saw was questionable.
FWIW and IMHO's apply...

That's the problem sometimes with charts, I have to also look
at other stuff. Then internals look bad because they still are
bad, the sweep up today was late and most likely index funds
program trading and covering short positions, most of the
trades today still took place below 1085..they just rushed
the market late on and by surprise so for about an hour and
a half it looks like there were more buyers than sellers..
that kind of recovery is not really a stong one.
But it could bring in more short covering in the morning.
And there is money in the money markets, so we could go up
for a bit..but I do not belive the correction they want is
finnished yet..we did set a new interday low..since the top
was made..short term maybe up, mid term down, longer term
up ( i think )
