Comment: As expected, the indexes took a turn for the worse last week. Most rallies failed and support levels were breached. The market is vulnerable but like a trapped animal, it could lash out in either direction. Because volatility is weak, it’s remains a dangerous trading environment. Keep your eye on the struggling bond market, which may provide fireworks in the near future.

Comment: Market has taken a turn for the worse. The technical indicators are telling us to be very, very careful. Friday’s intraday reversal was another warning sign. Be on the lookout for failed rallies. Cash is king this week, and start brushing up on buying put options (recommended if experienced) and short selling (only for the pros).
