A Broad Market Rally! SPX, Nasdaq, RIG, DO, NOV, CLF, X, RTP, ATI, FCX, PCU, PKX, ACH

Yesterday, in my evening post, I said, “The market does still show bullish formations in the major indices. We’ll have to see how VIX deals with the $18 mark (now, a resistance). If VIX gets pushed back down toward $16, we could still see the market forming a new leg up.”
