Markets Quiet Early Today; Stock Indexes Weak
Tuesday, March 27--Jim Wyckoff's Morning Web Log
OVERNIGHT/EARLY MORNING DEVELOPMENTS
There is no real feature in quieter overnight/early morning trading today. U.S. stock indexes and Treasury futures prices are weaker.
* JIM'S MARKET THOUGHT OF THE DAY *
Most of you long-time traders have probably heard of the Italian math wizard Fibonacci. His math formulas have been used in trading markets for decades, and are legitimate. If you send me an email at jim@jimwyckoff.com and I'll send you back a feature story I wrote on Fibonacci. I think you'll find it very interesting.--Jim
