The underlying conditions are bearish. Futures have been dropping for some time, and even when the FED has come in to push the market the rallies have been short lived. We're in a bear market, the bulls lost their steam months ago and now the only support they get is from the declining dollar.Quote from detective:
I am not long, but will buy weakness today. Not much downside with the Fed as the backstop. The Intel earnings will be an excuse for people to sell, and today will probably be a bottom that will last at least for January. After that, all bets are off because we are in a bear market.
