While the Diary of a Mad Hedge Fund Trader focuses on investment over a one week to six-month time frame, Mad Day Trader, provided by Bill Davis, will exploit money-making opportunities over a brief ten minute to three day window. It is ideally suited for day traders, but can also be used by long-term investors to improve market timing for entry and exit points.

The Greek debit stuation continues to affect worldwide markets pre open.
Worldwide markets continues to sell off as a result.
If that is not enough, we have the FOMC meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday, with a statement on Wednesday at 2:00.? This event has the potential to create extra volatility for the markets.
I would watch the VIX and where it opens.? If it opens above 15.63, expect further down movement.
The next level to watch is 16.41.? If the VIX stalls there and heads down, expect the markets to head up.

VIX:? Key levels are 15.63 and 12.50
Above 15.63 is 16.41.
Below 15.63 is 14.85
The VIX closed yesterday at 15.39, just under the 15.63 resistance level.? If the VIX gets through 15.63, expect further selling pressure in the markets.? If the VIX can get through 15.63, resistance should be at 16.41.
If the VIX fails at that level and heads down, look for the markets to rally.
A move above 16.41 and the S & P should continue down.

Short term support should be at 2,070.33.? If the S & P can close above 2,070.33 or two straight days, expect a rally back to 2,093.80.
On the downside, 2,085.98 is the key price level.? Yesterday closed just under it at 2,084.43.
If the S & P closes under 2,085.98 today, the market will want to drop to 2,062.50.

With the FOMC announcement tomorrow, profits should be booked quickly on any intra day trades
