Gap Up And Sell-Off!

The market send an important message to the bulls today; the rally seems to come to an end at this point. Time for a pullback! Indices losing 1.2% to 2.1% is the highest we've seen so far this year. Still nothing to panic about, but another day like this could change that.

Today's session started with a nice gap higher, but soon a sell-off followed and the selling didn't stop for the rest of the session. The selling peaked in the last 45 minutes, with huge volume coming in.

Daily charts DIA, SPY, QQQ and IWM:



Euro, oil, metals
Losses of almost 1% for the euro and oil. That's still a better performance than indices.
But what about the metals! Copper traded sideways, but gold and silver went up just under 1%.
