- Date: 8th October 2019
- Summary: NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES (OCTOBER 8, 2019) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) WILLIAM O'NEIL + COMPANY, CHIEF INVESTMENT STRATEGIST, RANDY WATTS, SAYING: "Right, so right now we have the market rated in a downtrend. We really need to see the market have what we call, 'a follow through day,' which is a big up day in a lot of volume to start to feel better about the market. We're looking for support around the 200-day and if it breaks that, we think the markets could trade back to their June or March lows and that twenty-seven hundred area, but right now we're pretty negative, because breadth has been contracting and so few stocks are above their 50-day."
