The intraday head and shoulders top I pointed out yesterday remains in play for the short-term, as you can see below on the SPY chart for yesterday and today. We are basically grinding sideways today. Overall, that is not such a bad thing given the fast moves we have seen in this market over the past few months. I have grind on my mind, and I not talking about taking a trip down to The Borgata to grind some 40/80 LHE games, though I am sure that would be fun. Instead, I want to see the market and many individual stocks firm up and cool off without seeing the return of violent indecision and wild price swings. I would be only at that point that buyers showing up again would likely present a much lower risk entry for patient swing traders.

For the rest of this session, though, I am not expecting much in the way of fireworks in either direction.
