The markets are seeing red today with the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:SPY) trading at $135.86, -0.60 (-0.44%). After Greece received its second bailout over the holiday weekend, the markets have started to show major cracks. Interestingly enough, this is happening just as the retail investor is jumping back into the market. This is setting up for a sell off and pivot top of 2012.

This morning, Visa Inc (NYSE:V) and MasterCard Inc (NYSE:MA) are surging sharply higher. The catalyst for the rally in these two leading stocks is a strong reaction to the MasterCard earnings announcement. MA stock will have some short term intra-day resistance around the $385.00 level. Visa Inc stock is obviously trading higher in sympathy to the MasterCard earning report.
