Can Buyers Really Hold This? (3 Ways to Short on Tuesday)

We’re back to our desks after the Quad-Witching break last week, and we have a busy week of trading ahead of us as we go into the end of March…

All three of our favorite markets were bullish going into the closing bell this afternoon, but after looking closer at the charts, I find myself wondering…

But here’s the big question – will this turn out to be a “sell the news” event where the market makers run the market lower, just so they can buy the dip on Friday? Or will this market jump higher and take off like a rocket ship to the moon?

It’s anyone’s guess at this point; but no matter what direction, there’s sure to be plenty of opportunity going into Thursday. Here’s how I’ll be trading it…
