No trading today--spending time putting up Xmas tree, cutting firewood, and watching football. NO SHOPPING, either.
Strong day to the upside, but holiday trading is often characterized by an uptrending day on low volume. I used today to get out of the some long positions on XLF, but I would not consider today a turnaround day. I expect to buy back into XLF and stocks at lower prices.
Iow, just how significant is today? Not very, imo.
I would love to get long the S&P for a nice 3-5 day run. Today is just not the time.
