Markets Stabilize

Early morning selling was reversed by the close to leave markets in a stable position and their rallies intact. 

For the S&P, the risk of a 'bull trap' was negated with a return to support on higher volume accumulation. The recovery wasn't enough to reverse the MACD trigger 'sell' but any upside tomorrow would probably be enough to trigger a new 'buy' signal in this indicator.

The Nasdaq is some way from testing nearest support which will keep some technical traders away. Opportunists may see today's action as a pullback 'buy'. It's not a long-term buying opportunity but a trade to rising channel resistance may still be in the offering. There is a 'sell' in On-Balance-Volume to mute today's action.

The Russell 2000 remains in its 'bull flag' formation awaiting a cue to break the consolidation. A test of the 50-day MA looks a good opportunity to spark such a breakout

The Semiconductor Index didn't lose ground but its ascent is running a very tight rally. The index could do with a pullback, preferably back to the 50-day MA.Current holders have no reason to sell yet.

For today's action to mark a swing low there can't be any persistent move into today's trading range; anything which finishes below today's close will likely undercut the low and spark an acceleration in a quest to seek stronger support.
