The Right Side Or Not?

Although there was some little follow-through from the indices, most notable action came from metals, with gold and silver the big winners of the day. Indices started with a gap up, only to drop big towards yesterday's closing levels and then they went up again. A volatile day, but with rather good action from the bulls. So far, we're only bouncing after a pullback. As long as there is no higher high, bears still will have some hope left that they are finally on the right side of the trade.

Daily charts DIA, SPY, QQQ and IWM:



Euro, oil, metals
The euro hit 1.34 again, recent resistance and a big level to overcome.
Oil had another bad day, going about 2% lower before it bounced. But a good recovery, ending 'only' about 0.5% down.
Metals all did great with winners between 2% and 3.7% higher (silver the biggest winner).
