The bottom line, the short-term trend is down. I hold both long and short overnight.

Mixed signals for tomorrow. On one hand, we have so called Bullish Friday, while on the other hand, according to Stock Trader’s Almanac, January Expiration Day, Dow down 10 of last 12. My best guess is at least we’ll see some weakness tomorrow morning, and still whether the intermediate-term was topped we have to wait and see.
