There's not much to update, thus far it's a pretty boring rangebound session.
We did get the insider selling vs buying ratio today, it came in at 1169 shares sold for every 1 share bought. ORCL was leading the pack on sales again.
The Euro has given up it's opening gap, there's a lot of news out on Greece this morning, not so favorable.
So when something happens, I'll let you know. For now you might as well just go back to bed.
Is interest rates about to start going up?
-
Yes, I know - it does not make any sense - FED is about to cut
rates...but....real world interest rates are not always what FED wants it
to be.

Gap down on the vix points to investor complacency below 20. That is prob the biggest and most important thing to notice this morning.
And early US Dollar strength
We broke to the downside on the Euro wedge, now forming another in the 1 min time frame. Their is alot of profit sitting on the table that traders at some point won't want to risk. If they start to feel that the risk is starting to go against them, they might flee to the exits to be the first.
The 1 min also broke to the downside and now it is forming a rising wedge on the 1 min. Another bearish pattern...the market hasn't followed the dollar trade yet, but we may be seeing the start of some weakness. The big boys might just be sitting in the weeds allowing retail to buy some shares thinking everything is ok. The euro/usd trade seems to indicate all might not be. Let's see where it goes.
It seems that the market is able to go up when the EURO tries to bounce but does not give the same respect to any downside pressure. Obvious market manipulator of HFT's at work here. We should be trading well below Friday's close based on the dollar. Again, Obama was speaking today. We'll see if the market follow the normal course and goes up because he was on TV
