Late day weakness settled the closing price on short-term SMA resistance. The market is still pretty oversold, and with some 'not-so-exciting' data tomorrow, it may see some follow-through on this oversold bounce (maybe to the 1305 level). If no follow-through is seen, it only re-enforces the thesis that it will test 1250 sooner-rather-than-later. (I took on some protection with today's advance, and if the 1305 level is seen, I will add to the protection.)
Also, some thoughts on copper and BGCP:
1. China's housing market is officially in negative territory. China has a ton of money to absorb this issue, however I do think it only re-enforces the negative thesis toward copper. With FCX advancing toward its 50SMA resistance, I added to the short.
2. BGCP saw a nice move today, and a lot had to do with one of my favorite CEOs coming out defending the business. Howard Lutnick is such a shoot-from-the-hip, and honest CEO. (Although I do disagree with the fact that QE3 is needed.)
