Pre-Holiday Hijinx

The broad averages were in good position to turn ugly on Wednesday; instead, they turned sharply higher, probably to steal a march on shell-shocked bears ahead of a five-day holiday blowout. Because Independence Day falls on a Tuesday, trading volume is likely to start ratcheting lower around mid-day Thursday. Expect it to continue falling until Monday’s closing bell. Prices are apt to waft higher over the entire period, given the ebullience of today’s short squeeze reversal. Will sobriety return after the Fourth? We’ll have to wait and see.
