Today's Markets

Here's a 5-day chart. The market broke trend on Wednesday, traded in a range for two days waiting for the employment report, then sold-off today.



Here's an 8-day chart. Notice that even though the market has broken the uptrend and sold-off, we're now at the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level from the rally.
