BULLS NEED FRESH NEWS
This market seems tired and in need of fresh fuel from bullish news to push it thru resistance. From where will it come? This is hard to say. On Tuesday there was sporadic bullish action with rumors the government will sell some of its toxic waste from financial companies like C, AIG and so forth. However, many market sectors seem heavy as they gasp for air at high altitude. In other words, we're overbought.
Volume was again light while breadth remains positive.

I'd say the bull needs some fuel in the form of news and volume. You'll note how dramatically volume has fallen over the past few months. Monday's volume was akin to a half-day holiday trading period.
Economic data will come Wednesday from Wholesale Inventories and well as energy supplies.
In after hours trading Tuesday, biotech stocks are active with M&A activity for Facet Biotech being bought by Abbott and InterMune also strongly higher. Perhaps this is the type of news to bring out the animal spirits.
Nevertheless, no matter how you view it, markets are overbought.
