Wednesday Morning Briefing

Welcome to our morning briefing. Here we are reviewing short term setups ahead of the NYSE opening bell. If you are a scalper or swing trader then these setups may be of interest to you.

No matter if you’re a bull or bear – you do not want this to happen as we would all would find ourselves SOL without a paddle.

Otherwise, see you all at the thunderdome. Better bring a cup – I’m a biter.

Cheers,
