Tuesday Market Recap

Stocks opened the day lower, rallied back to even,  and then collapsed into the close, ending the last day of the quarter sharply lower.

S&P500 Futures are now trading below Monday's open.

Today's late day action wasn't the only excitement.  Numerous trading vehicles had to be halted in the middle of the session, including the $VXX.  The $VXX halt was 5+ years in the making.

Will we get a flop, like $TWTR's last report, or a rocket to $50 like its summer earnings report?

The market made some significant progress as far as pushing back short term resistance. From a longer term perspective I think there is still more work to do:

Monday Recap – 2/2/15

The market looked poised to start the week off on a positive note, but early morning sellers took over after the opening bell.  The $SPY briefly dipped under $198 and traded under $200 for most of the session before a late day surge sent the $SPY to $202.   I don't think a chart accurately conveys the volatility we saw in the market today, with prices falling dramatically before rallying sharply.
