Profit Taking Strikes Indices
Early buying momentum from pre-market through to morning trading had the potential to stamp bulls authority on markets, but by the close we are again looking at bearish 'black' candlesticks for the Nasdaq and S&P
Russell 2000 Takes Monday's Plaudits
It was not a great day for my day-trading experiment as I got stopped out of my Russell 2000 long position, but it was the Russell 2000 that banked the best gain of the day
Weekly Charts Got A Big Boost On Friday's Gains In Markets
There was some concern heading into Friday that Thursday's gains were going to be clawed back, but I was surprised by the extent of the buying that showed up. The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 witnessed the best of the action.

A short week for indices has opened with some modest selling, hardest felt in the Russell 2000, but common across all lead indices.
Weekly Charts Offer Optimism, But Weak Finish For Indices On Friday
The good work of the bulls was done early in the week, but rallies had run out of steam by Friday's close, although the weekly charts still look good. There was registered accumulation for the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq, but not for the Russell 2000.

Solid Buying Kicks Off The Development Of Indices Swing Lows
It was a good start to the week across all indices as buyers began the day in a buoyant mood and didn't let up all day. Volume was down for the Russell 2000, although the Nasdaq and S&P registered as accumulation days.
Lows Hold As A Swing Low Takes Shape
Markets managed to hold on to early lows seen in the past week. While the buying was relatively modest, it still wasn't enough to see a return above 20-day MAs for indices, although there is a good chance for a second bite of the cherry this week.
Markets Start 2024 Near (All-Time) Highs
With the exception of the Russell 2000 we have the S&P, Dow Jones Industrial, and the Nasdaq all up near all-time highs.
Being "Right" But Still Losing...
Given that, we can see sellers had plenty of motivation to take profits and jumped in on afternoon trading.
The Russell 2000 Is Ready To Fill Last Week's Gap
My day trading experiment registered a second losing day as I got caught up trying to force a sale in both the Nasdaq and Russell 2000
Dow Breaks To New All-Time Highs On Weekly Chart
It was a classic breakout for the Dow as the index recorded a new all-time high. Weekly buying volume was the highest since January 2022. Technicals are net positive with the index shifting to a relative outperformance against the Nasdaq 100.
Russell 2000 Surges On Positive Response To Fed
With the Fed signaling rate cuts for 2024, it was another good day for markets, with the Russell 2000 cashing in on its resistance pressure with a 3%+ gain.
Russell 2000 Recovers Intraday In Preperation For Upside Follow Through
One thing I have been waiting for is the upside follow-through in the Russell 2000. Technicals are all net positive and the index is outperforming peer indices.

Bulls came into the week with a small edge, but it was left to Semiconductors to push beyond its 'bull flag' and July swing high resistance.
