Thrilling Thursday – Strong Bounce Lines Tested

We're making some progress.

As we noted yesterday, we were looking to take back 2,880 on the S&P 500 and we finished at 2,884 and our next goal is the strong bounce line at 2,910 – after which we can put this weakness behind us and get back to our rally – because nothing that happened last week to cause the sell-off matters this week, I guess…
