A market like this, where stocks move a little higher and then gently drift lower, can be really deceptive.

There’s not much you can read into a market that’s down… a point. Financials are down a little, tech is all over the place and news-driven, energy is massively unchanged…

The expected move has markets penned in in a ridiculously tight range at the moment, but volatility is out there.
