Home Loans and Mortgages on Bad Credit by Mortgages MAX

The market is duller than a Colts victory parade at the moment. We're dealing with a fairly standard issue "calm before the storm" that we often see on a data-limited Monday when the rest of the week contains the more significant events. The supportive trends we began to note in the last post have continued to foster a narrow range of prices with almost perfectly flat directional movement. In other words, the simple existence of a "narrow range" doesn't always mean prices aren't moving. We can see narrow ranges while still moving DIRECTIONALLY. For instance, even on a 16 tick rally, if the subsequent highs and lows are only a tick or two higher than their previous marks, the line on the chart would be fairly smooth yet still be very much higher at the end of…(read more)

At least that which is at risk on low volume days–volatility due to the trading that actually happens comprising a larger portion of the total–was not present. Quite the opposite in fact, as the the same trend that began to emerge early this afternoon remained intact through the close.
