Indices were deeply overbought & then China timed it perfectly to warn on its GDP growth.
So shorts & bears were delighted @ their chance to make serious money, but funny thing happened as afternoon trading started, there were many buyers for every seller.
S&P 500 went down to 1359.13, by close we were @ 1364.33 which is a pullback of 5.30 points or .39%....
Internals were :
Down volume led by 1.99 to 1 in NYSE & 2.92 to 1 in Nasdaq
Declining stocks led by 1.48 to 1 in NYSE & 1.19 to 1 in Nasdaq
New 52 wk highs were in the lead, 74 in NYSE & 49 in Nasdaq
VIX closed UP 4.4% @ 18.05
Oil closed @ $106.72
Gold closed @ $1703.90
AH Futures Down
AH Asian markets Down
AH Oil & Gold UP
About market, resiliency of this market was obvious today. Given Chinese shocker, market barely gave anything in terms of pullback. IF market do not go down on a "surprise negative news" from China, then its strength should be of comfort to those, who are not so sure about bulls longevity.
BLOG does NOT give buy or sell.

I have a theory for AMZN, it is a fund stock and it is sitting in a crucial point, if it break down below 177 area, people will jump on short and crush it. Since funds know that, they will hold it in this range in order for them to get out slowly or for future upside.
Hi C,
Thanks for your post re AMZN..it is behaving the-best in my portfolio lately.

Hi Up,

To me, i don't think AMZN will break down , in fact since it didn't participate in this rally, i think it will say goodbye to 170 area for good and going upward.
Hi Up,
AMZN has given enough signal in last 3 days ..that move is UP.
