Dear Subscribers,
Stocks showed surprising weakness on Tuesday leading to our first close under the 200 day moving average in a week. Hopefully we see a bounce Wednesday to refute this bearish leg. Unfortunately if we don't, and the market closes under for a second straight session, then odds are we are in for more downside. No matter what the technical's say, I think it might be hard for the market to make significant headway from here without positive reinforcement from 2nd quarter earnings season which doesn't start until July 12th. Buckle up for a bumpy ride.
