Market environment

The bullish vs. bearish setup is 226 to 278 from the screenshot of my stock screener below.

Although the market breadth has been decreasing, the number of bullish setups is still above 200. There is no shortage of the long setups.

However, the main focus should be on the technology stocks as this is the only sector RSPT beating the S&P 500.

The GBP/USD pair trades with a negative bias for the second straight day, though it lacks bearish conviction and holds above the 1.3600 mark through the Asian session on Tuesday. Traders now look forward to the release of the UK monthly jobs report, which will influence the British Pound and provide some impetus to the currency pair.
