one day makes such a huge difference! 

New month, much lower activity....

 

but seems to be picking up now, let's see if we can get one or two more big trades

Employment Report Up Next 

Friday morning the BLS releases the October employment report. It will most likely leave expectations for a December Fed rate hike intact. We should focus on the unemployment rate and wages. Steady or even an uptick in the unemployment rate would help convince central bankers that they can squeeze more out of the labor market. That said, continued acceleration in wage growth would suggest that any lingering slack may be minimal.

Bottom Line: It would take quite a dive in the data to stop the Fed from hiking in December. We won’t find that kind of dive int he next employment report. The Fed will tend toward hiking rates until they are confident that economic activity is likely to slow enough that concerns of overheating fade. We aren’t there yet.

If the market closes around these levels, at this time, 2;57pm, then it will be the best 3-day rally in 3 years .... I think that's they said. 

Isn't that enough evidence to call a bottom? 

 

Yeah, but still doesn't feel as if there is enough bullish confidence. This can come with APPLE earnings & NFP report - if they are bullish.
