The market liked the number and gapped up, but that strength was quickly smacked down by longs looking to exit positions on strength.

Imminent Market Correction for July
By TheShortLife
I’ve been looking at charts all day and have come to the conclusion that we are most likely going to experience a very large market correction next week.
