    I am expecting a gap up open instead of gap down open.

    I see only 2 possibilities here, both point to high close tomorrow. SPX either gap up open, or open between 690-700, and close higher near 720.

    why are you expecting a gap up?

    Nikkei just hit lowest low since 1983. Their version of PPT intervened.

    Retail numbers are out at 8am. They are going to be catastrophic IMO.

    Bernanke testifies at 10am. Lots of uncertainty there.

    Housing numbers are out at 10am, and they could be better than expected and provide the rally you're looking for.

    New car sales are out at 4pm and they are going to be near zero.

    Tomorrow could well end up green but a gap up is not something I'm expecting.

    I think Geithner is speaking today, that may be the an important thing to watch to see how the market reacts.  Last time he took the market down 400 as ya know.

    Bernanke, not Geithner, at 10am,

    Geithner and Bernanke are on today;
    Bernanke is due to testify at 10 a.m. while Geithner's testimony on U.S. President Barack Obama's budget will start at 12.30 p.m.
