Jeff Coleman, Trean Group analyst and CME Group pit trader, says the market may be looking at a 'dead cat bounce'. 

"Is this another “dead cat bounce” that will collapse once the day session begins? The grains seem to be in a holding pattern with not much happening to move this market until the USDA crop production and supply and demand report coming out March 8th," Coleman says. The equity markets should be active today as Ben Bernanke wraps up his two days of testimony before Congress, he says. 

Durable goods figures come out at 8:30 AM ET and new home sales numbers are released at 10:00 AM ET as well. "And who can forget about the upcoming March 1st deadline to figure out the sequestration mess," Coleman asks.
