With the Russell 2000 breaking out over the 50 and 200-week moving averages, the market does look like blue skies, right?
Retail XRT ran to just over $50.00
Sister Semiconductors SMH rocked to another new all-time high.
Transportation IYT passed the critical test at the 200-WMA.
Biotechnology IBB consolidates over the 5-year breakout.

A move/hold below 36.80, and regardless of the lofty prices elsewhere, I would take that as fair warning.
