Sellers returned to the market in force today as the Dow fell 507 points on heavy volume. The advance/declines were around 3 to 1 negative. The summation index is beginning to stall. No change in rates as expected from the Fed but I suppose the market didn't like what it heard from the new Fed chairman. The NASDAQ led things lower again. The S&P 500 lost over ninety points as stocks unraveled in the final hour or so. Some of its short term indicators are now moving down. If the S&P keeps moving down it would negate the positive price action that we've seen recently. Gold lost $93 on the futures. The US dollar had a very strong session and interest rates were up. The XAU fell 9 1/2, while GDX shed 2 7/8. Volume was very heavy to the downside. GDX made it up to the 50 day moving average and longer turn down trend line before selling off. The short term indicators for GDX are beginning to stall. We are looking for a pullback on GDX in order to purchase the July calls here. This is probably the start of it. I may place an open order overnight. We'll see. Mentally I'm feeling OK. The VIX was higher today and that fits with a down market. Some of the short term indicators here have turned back up. Still below the 20 level on the VIX. Not sure what's coming next here. We'll have an option expiration Thursday tomorrow due to a holiday leading into a long weekend. Not sure that we want to hold any positions ahead of that and the supposed signing of the Iran peace deal on Friday. However we'll have to see what happens tomorrow. Asia was generally higher and Europe slightly mixed last night. We'll close out the trading week on Thursday.
