Josh Brown: This Is a Bear Market Rally

Think the bulls are off to the races? Top trader Josh Brown begs to differ.

"It's important to understand the origin of the recent move," he says in a live interview. "From failed moves come fast moves."

He goes on to explain that last Tuesday bears were unable to break much below 1100 support on the S&P.

"We had a failed breakdown with everyone leaning the wrong way. Short interest in September was at a high not seen since Q3 of September 2008. But when we didn't break down there was a rush of short covering."

He goes on to say, "once the shorts have covered I don't see anyone coming in and buying at a higher level."
