Minor rebound
More debt issues out of Europe, this time Spain, but the market shook it
off and was able to close in positive territory, recovering a portion of
Tuesday's large losses.
The TSP funds were mixed hit hard as the C-fund gained 0.66%, the S-fund
added 0.25%, while the I-fund
lost another 0.49%, and the F-fund dropped 0.31%.
The S&P 500 rallied up to the 20-day EMA
and that makes today's action important. The bulls will like to
see the S&P 500 recapture that 20-day EMA as soon as possible, but if it
cannot, the 50-day EMA could be the next target.

There was PMO sell signal generated, and unfortunately, it looks similar
to the one created in January, just as the correction began.
I have a knack for buying the wrong pullback and I am concerned of
course, that buying here could be buying at the start of another
correction. Regardless, I have to consider buying - especially if
we can get a test of the 50-day EMA this week or next.
Bond yields rallied off of the rising support and the newly filled gap
area, but they have already run into overhead resistance of the
declining trading channel.

The dollar has rallied back to the top of its recent ascending trading
channel, but started to pull back as soon as it did so.

TalkI think all
three of the charts above will move in unison, in that if stocks rally,
look for the dollar to move down, and bond yields to break above that
declining trading channel (bond prices and the F-fund would go down).
This would likely benefit the I-fund the most in the short-term.
If stocks continue to pull back, watch for the dollar to rise and bond
yields to move down (bonds and F-fund up). I don't know which will
feed off of which, but those are the two scenarios that are setting up
for the next few days.
Thanks for reading. We'll see you back here tomorrow!
