SHORT-TERM: COULD BE A PULLBACK SOON

As mentioned in the After Bell Quick Summary, a short setup was triggered because of the SPY black bar. Just that reason may not be good enough. Better wait for a negative divergence formed on chart 1.0.3 S&P 500 SPDRs (SPY 30 min). In another word, to trade against a trend, better take the 2nd entry, in our case is to wait the market pullback then rebound to test the previous high then short the pullback.

3.4.1 United States Oil Fund, LP (USO Daily), black bar so oil could pullback which is not good for the stock market.

6.4.5 GLD and UUP Watch, black bar too, so UUP could be up tomorrow at least gaps up, this also is not good for the stock market.
