Roller Coaster

Market keeps swinging from one end to another. Yesterday market looked strong. Today it was very weak till mid day and then the futures started rallying and market recovered bulk of the losses.

Both bulls and bears lack conviction and a rumor of Fed discount rate cut had the panicky shorts covering in hurry. But overall the breakouts on downside exceeded the breakout on upside.
