About market, it is all about jobs report @ 8.30 AM, i am expecting 200K+++ which may trigger selling. Friday may not be the day to "buy the dip". This Taper is signalling a "change in direction" for interest rates, 10 yr is already @ 2.875% which closed near high of the day of 2.88%. As we have seen that good news about economy is bad news for market, this new focus may take longer to digest. We have been down for five straight day's, there is a chance that we may not stop @ six in going down.

About market, TAPE continues to deteriorate , so far S&P 500 has lost 1.9%, Nasdaq 1.6%. I expect weakness to continue on Thursday. Friday may not be much better.Jobs report on Friday is expected to show Job growth of 180K, i am expecting 200K+++ which may spook this market. Most pundit expects 200K Job growth will trigger Taper. I am still expecting Taper in January 2014. Close on Thursday may reflect ongoing jitter about  fear of strong job growth.

About market, internals continue to deteriorate which means TAPE needs to stabilize first before a firm support is found. As we have not corrected for eight weeks, it is a fair assumption that we are in one of those infrequent pullbacks. Participants are extremely anxious for Friday's jobs report which may keep a lid on any meaningful advance. Normally buying on weakness is a desirable strategy but it may be prudent to wait until Friday's TAPE.

About market, last forty five minutes of trading saw a downward push, weak close is not a good omen for Tuesday's TAPE action. I am expecting another weak close based on weak internals. Nasdaq had moved into overbought territory followed by S&P 500, that was the trigger for last hour weakness. We may see technical rebound on Wednesday.
