Market update July 28, 2011

So, today market printed lower volume inverted hammer candle. Intraday, market direction was up until 12PM Eastern and then it spent the rest of the day giving it all back and then some more. Over all it was more of a day of rest after yesterday's high volume wide range decline day.

In my experience, an inverted hammer during a down swing can signal a reversal but for that to happen, the volume has to be higher than previous day. That is not the case here. But this doesn't mean that we cannot get a reversal as market is at the confluence of 61.8% fib retracement and lower Bollinger band while 200 day SMA is 1.5 points away. These are likely to provide some support.
