Last week, Markets started on the week side. As I have noted before, there is resistance at 2080, and support between SPX 2060 and 2040. On Tuesday, SPX touched 2044 and bounced back. It was then a volatile, but range-bound market. Stocks sold off on Wednesday again. On Thursday morning, there was buying in the morning, but it faded towards the close. Things looked better on Friday, as Greece submitted a new proposal for the bailout. Still, SPX was not able to push above 2080.
