The bulls are trying – gotta give them credit for that at least.
Last week if felt like the market was going straight to zero, this week, everyone is acting like the Coronavirus has a cure and the worst is behind us.

Yeah, I could see this market rally lasting throughout the week, but I wouldn’t put too much confidence in it. The 10-year is still in the dumpster, the airlines and cruise lines are still awful, and Utilities, Staples and Real Estate are the market leaders for today’s rally.
What does that tell you? Traders are still looking for safety and avoiding the riskier trades.
