If the gap down is bought again aggressively then definitely more up, the mood has changed.

If sharp down today, then the market has no direction.

Yup. Range after range after range lately. No trends.

Gold. Metals. The dollar. Inflation. The Fed. Interest rates. For this trader, it is almost all in the charts.

None of the following is my opinion. It is all sourced information. And I will not try to weave it all together in a riddle for you. (This leads to that, and that leads to this, and here is a prediction, and a historical reference.) Ha ha. Just a morning attempt at humor.

Market drivers

Precious metals analysts credited signs of waning U.S. inflation with helping to boost the price of gold by making it easier for the Federal Reserve to pause its interest-rate hikes, or even switch back to cutting rates.

“With the U.S. dollar on the backfoot, inflation rates around the world coming down and the Fed more likely to tone down its hawkish rhetoric rather than ratchet it up, gold has been enjoying a strong revival over the past three months,” said Raffi Boyadjian, lead investment analyst at XM. “As long as inflation continues to come down and not prove sticky, gold’s uptrend should continue.”

FT71 morning broadcast said yesterday was unusual. Market moved up but Delta was neutral with large lot buying and selling absent or cancelling. He said most of the up move was by small traders (lots size 9 or less) so yesterday's move counts as weak hands who will sell out quickly.

OK hal;f hour into the day and the gap is still open.

Still working with these volumetric bars. Needing to find the right size, too little info wastes screen, too much obscures where the liquidity pools are.

Everybody is done stocking their home office. Closets full of post it notes back at those semi empty office locations. Thinking Microsoft will be similar story, but since Amazon stock is equal to internet services side of the company then I guess Microsoft is similar with software a freebee on top of web services. Can't think they are taking business away from Amazon in that space. Also, market was assuming internet services would grow at 40% a year for forever with insanely large margins. Those multiples are being rung out of these two stocks as expectations start to get real.

HALTED
NYSE says trading issue that led to dozens of stocks being halted has been resolved
The major stocks impacted included Morgan Stanley, Verizon, AT&T, Nike and McDonald’s, according to the NYSE’s website.
Many stocks were shown to have abnormally large moves when the market opened, which may have triggered volatility halts.
The NYSE said at roughly 9:50 a.m. that all of its systems were operational.

Wel somebody is wrong, either Mr Market has nailed the bottom and the Federal Reserve is in the process of folding, or the Central Bankers have pulled the punch bowl and Mr Market hasn't noticed yet.
