If Bernanke talks hawkish, we have upward pressure on rates and stocks get hit. If Bernanke talks dovish, the dollar gets hit some more and so do stocks. Same idea with the data coming out. Looks like a lose/lose scenario.
I'm just trying to surf the market in the right direction but we seem to be moving into a "glass half empty" mood for the immediate future. Momentum has been carrying stocks higher and that momentum took a hell of a hit today.
