Here's what the editor-in-chief at Briefing.com had to say: Taking a Breather.
I ain't so sure this is just a breather. When all this said and done, all the air might have been sucked out of the system and Bernanke and his cronies will be forced to drive the interest down to zero, zip, nada. There ya go, you have just been Bernanke'd!
It's all too easy to get excited about the prospect of seeing the S&P plunge to its demise, but who sez it was ever that easy. The bargain hunters will most likely come swooping down like a opportunistic vultures driving up the prices in the process. But here are some points to consider.

As we're sitting pretty here at unchanged mark and getting kicked around by bulls and bears alike, I should reinforce the above notion that we'll most likely be trading in a fairly tight range today before bucking lower tomorrow (Friday). Should that happen, it should set the tone for next week with a plenty of economic numbers to be digested.
I'm sticking to the entry of the "Bear Flag Pattern"
It does appear as a bear flag on the weekly chart, but you also can't deny the fact that there's an ominous looking inverted head & shoulders pattern on the daily chart.

"Fairly tight" it was with not surprisingly very negligible volume. Based on the last minute selloff in the futures, the probability of another distribution (to borrow EWZuber's phrase) is damn great in my opinion. As for my prediction made in the above chart, it turned out to be pretty similar, dontcha think? Now that would have made you more than just a tidy dime. ;^)
Can anyone enlighten this dimwit why a stock like Citybank and other investment outfits that writes off billions of dollars on bad loans manages to rally when it claims to have raised or is in the process of raising more capital? How is it that to pour more money into sinking business is construed as a good news? Furthermore, what guarantee is there that the new capital will not be squandered away in patching up the bad loans? Maybe it's just me but I believe there are morons and there are THE morons.
