There wasn't much volume to Friday's trading, but there was enough to see buyers come in a trendline support in the Russell 2000 (IWM). There was no technical change to the index with only a whipsaw signal in relative performance against the Nasdaq, although the MACD remains on a prior 'sell' signal.

The Nasdaq recovered some of Friday's losses but remains a long way from challenging the 'bull trap' and is below breakout support. The index continues to underperform the S&P. On-Balance-Volume has flatlined against the signal line, although has moved back to a 'buy' signal.

The S&P similary remains below trendline support when Friday's gain failed to recover this support. The index is outperforming relative to the S&P but both On-Balance-Volume and MACD are holding to earlier 'sell' signals.

Tomorrow's lead will be the Russell 2000 (IWM) continuing its move-off support. But, if this fails after the first half-hour of trading, then look to the Nasdaq (COMPQ) and S&P (SPX) for a short opportunity, particularly if these indices make it to trendline resistance (former support).
