Well, the market started out with a great up move and then sort of unwound for the rest of the day. Notice that I put the Fibonacci replacements in the chart and the market found support at the 61.8% level and then hovered above and below that level for quite some time.

It was not an exciting day to trade, though I had to fight impulses as the market faded of the highs to stay and in the trade and let it ride. Not an easy thing for a devout scalper, but I managed to stick by my guns. The volume, as it has been for quite a while, was not overly impressive which, in my mind, doesn’t point to a terribly robust market. We shall see.
