The stock market showed expected strength off the open yesterday but it was a day of continued indecision. Today’s higher open is not a buying opportunity. The pressure is to the downside.

Day Trading Game Plan: The SPY ETF Chart
The SPY price action gave us two solid trends yesterday, one up, one down. Then closed in the middle of the day. We keep finding support in the 205.30 area. Stock specific today unless we break that level, then the short-sale could be a little more aggressive.
