Editor's Note

Licia Leslie 0DTE Analyst, Option Pit |
Once again we are beginning the day with a rally and once again I do not trust it. We must close over the median line to get a real rally going. After yesterday's selloff, I think it could happen again. We need a close below $7474.75 to trade lower. We have closed below the 50 day moving average the last two days. Today's close will be important.
