Today on the Marketbeat:

Another choppy Monday in the markets today. The market was up pre-trading around the same level that it closed at today. Even though the market did not break out to new highs today, it did finish higher across the board. The Core sector list closed the day in the green 11 over 5 and the AD LINES bother closed the day positive. The breadths and $TICK were possibly the one sign that today's lift wouldn't last (intraday at least) because the breadth failed to continue to make higher highs and the TICK never reached the 1000 mark, both signs that the upside volume wasn't increasing.

This is a short week because of the Easter holiday (Good Friday), it's also seen as one of the last weeks of this quarter. This means alot of earnings will begin in April so that could be a a big market mover next week - for this week it could mean we don't move too much. We will have to wait to see what happens from here, but keeping your eye on shorter termed trades until we get a definite idea of direction could be good practice.
