Thursday’s Factors and Events

“A lot of smart investors in the past few weeks have been saying the markets are up on borrowed time,” said Scott Redler,  partner with T3Live.com. ”[Tuesday’s] outside reversal gave technical analysts a signal to reverse longs. Does this start a new corrective sequence to the downside? In my opinion, it does. We’ve mapped out a few levels along the way, and 2,650 is a big level.”
