Posted on by Ilan

Cannon Trading / E-Futures.com

Market sold off on bearish jobs data earlier this morning. We saw a good bounce in the last half of the trading session.

Looking at the Mini Dow Jones daily chart below, I will need to see a break below 12528 in order to get more confidence that the trend is starting to reverse and that odds prefer the down side.
