The stock indexes generated a sideways and noisy trading pattern in today's trade and only closed down slightly on the day. The pattern of so many consecutive up days without any pullbacks is very bullish. After 13 up days in a row, you would think there would be a significant pullback. Since the market is holding at all-time highs, the price could still move higher. When the market moves in one direction this fast (3700 Nasdaq 100 futures points), you always have to consider a measured move, another move of the same magnitude, taking the Nasdaq 100 futures over 30,000.
Brief consolidations in this cycle can be very choppy as we experienced today.
All portfolios were down across the board.
