Friends
The good news was that we had a nice reversal today. The bad news was that we still finished down for the day. After a 260 point Dow drop, stocks did recover quite a bit as the afternoon wore on. It wasn’t so much a rush to sell in the morning as it was the reluctance to buy.
By the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 78 points to finish the day at 16,201. The S&P 500 was down 6 points to close at 1932. Gold was up $21 to trade at $1152 per ounce, while oil was up $.65 to trade at $45.13 per barrel WTI.
As we have mentioned, finding bottoms is a process. Previous resistance levels become support, and after a sizable drop like the one we had in August, a test of the previous lows often comes into play. Let’s see how the week finishes out tomorrow.
Have a nice evening everyone.
