Markets Remain in Chop Mode

Futures are marginally negative today. The DAX is positive. This suggests a mixed to positive open. Market condition scans are showing a neutral bias along with the market bias indicators. Price action will likely be similar to yesterday, with no strong directional bias. Swing trading remains a challenge. Volumes remain below their 25 day moving average on all the indexes indicating little institutional interest needed to power any bullish moves. The markets remain in a bullish phase. Friday is option expiry day, which will likely increase market volatility today and tomorrow.
