STOCK MARKET BULLISH -- LONG -- CAUTION

Keybot the Quant is long but the algo clicked off a number after the open wanting to whipsaw back to the short side already.  Other programming rules, however, are holding the quant back for now, so the bullish call remains albeit with a caution flag out.  If the SPX would drop down towards 1227-ish area, that would have potential for Keybot to flip back to the short side. The financials, XLF, failed a few minutes after the open and remain sub 12.70. This is market bearish and causing today's broad market weakness.

The retail sector, RTH, is holding well above the danger level of 109.40, so the market bulls are receiving upwards buoyancy.  The utilities, UTIL, are remaining elevated as well which also helps the markets remain buoyant. The broad markets should exhibit limited downside unless RTH loses the 109.40 level, then significant selling will appear If the XLF can regain 12.70 and higher, the broad markets will noticeably recover to the upside.
