The Dow posted an inside day with a lower close on Monday as it consolidated some of last week's rally. The low-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI remain bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If the Dow extends the rally off January's low, the 50% retracement level of the October- January decline crossing at 12,915 is the next upside target. Closes below last Thursday's low crossing at 12,250 would signal that a short-term top has been posted.
