The S&P posted a small loss, although volume rose in confirmed distribution. Resistance at the February gap along with the 200-day MA is in play but the trend remains bullish.

The Nasdaq has already posted new all-time highs as it looks to consolidate its gain. The gain came with a new 'buy' trigger in relative performance vs the S&P. Technicals are not showing any technical weakness.
