The article below recaps Monday’s recovery in tech-focused stocks, and provides investors and traders a preview of what to expect today as major indexes continues to digest Trump’s election ramifications.

Tuesday Market Recap

The markets opened higher yesterday [Tuesday] morning,  strengthened by a better than expected Retail Sales number.  This time, we saw money flowing into the big Techs, as investors took advantage of the recent oversold conditions.  The Nasdaq 100 index (NDX) had the strongest gain on the day because of this inflow to Technology stocks.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) and the S&P 500 (SPX) ended near their highs of the day.

Notably, the DJIA made a new closing high of 18,868. At the close, the DJIA was up 0.29%, the SPX added 0.75%, and the NDX moved up 1.3%.

Breadth was decidedly positive, 2.6 to 1, on slightly above average volume. 10-Day Rates of Change (ROC(10)’s) advanced, with the DJIA and SPX remaining in positive territory and the NDX continuing in negative territory. Relative Strength Indicators (RSI’s) moved higher, with the DJIA at 73.8 sitting in overbought territory. In contrast, the SPX and NDX remain in bullish territory.

The DJIA and SPX remain with their MACD above signal, while the NDX continues below.  The ARMS index ended the day at 1.07, a neutral reading.

The breadth in yesterday’s session was encouraging, in that the gains were more widespread and not just in a few select Dow stocks.  As noted earlier, the NDX was the strongest index in the session, however, it was the DJIA which made a new closing high.  It traded as high as 18,925 in the session, 9 points below the previous session’s intraday high.

The Dow developed a ‘Hanging Man’ candlestick in the session, possibly indicating a near term top. While the NDX had a good day, it still remains below its 20-Day Moving Average (20D-SMA) of 4,791 and its 50D-SMA of 4,812. It continues above the near-term critical support level of 4,647.  The SPX closed just 10 points below its all-time closing high of 2,190. Meanwhile, the SPX appears to have the strength to test this level.

The VIX lost 7.6% to finish at 13.37 as Trump fears continue to dissipate. Near term support for the NDX is at 4,750 and 4,725, while near term resistance is at 4,775 and 4,791. Near term support for the SPX is at 2,175 and 2,162. Near-term resistance is at 2,190, 2,193 and 2,200.
