Low Volume Gains Tempers Strong Finish
A strong finish to the end of week was tempered by the relatively light volume. The S&P knocked on the door of the 200-day MA on solid technical strength. It will be important for buyers to keep buying pressure on as they challenge 2015 highs.
Further Accumulation On Bullish Response To NFP
Bulls kept things ticking over after initial negative response to NFP reversed to rally with a strong finish to the week.
Bulls Keep Gains Running
Bears were again unsuccessful in pushing an early advantage with bulls coming to feed late in the day. The gains were modest, but speculative Small Caps had the best of the action.
Low Key Bullish Push
After yesterday's solid gain it would have been easy for bears to take back some of those gains. Instead, bulls kept the pressure on with another day of gains.
Large Caps And Tech Breakout
After two days of losses bulls were able to push a move higher in Tech and Large Cap indices. The breakout in the Nasdaq was a clear run past the 50-day MA. Volume climbed to register an accumulation day, along with a relative performance gain.
Sellers Deliver Second Day Of Losses
The Semiconductors managed a perfect tag of resistance before it headed south. Shorts will have had the best of the opportunities today, although technicals are still net bullish.
Solid Gains-Small Loss
The run of gain some, give back a little continued Friday with small losses after a solid Thursday.The S&P remained above its 50-day MA as relative performance shifted towards Small Caps, and Rate of Change moved sharply lower.
Bulls Continue To Press
Another good day for buyers as yesterday's recovery saw some solid follow through, with short covering likely part of the mix. Volume climbed to register an accumulation day as the key 50-day MA was challenged for some indices.
Bulls Pull It Together
The S&P finished with a bullish hammer which leaves it knocking on the door of 1,950 again. Better still, the Rate of Change returned above zero with a new swing high, potentially ending the bear phase of the market.
Yesterday's Gains Rebuffed
The hard work of yesterday was undone by today's selling. Volume was relatively contained, with profit taking and some eager shorts looking to take advantage of the resistance test.
Second Consolidation Day
A solid Friday kept indices at the business end of last week's gains. Tech indices had the best of it, closing with small gains. This was enough to return a 'buy' trigger in On-Balance-Volume.
Stall In Advance, But Bulls Can Be Happy
It was inevitable, given the action over 2016, that bears were going to make an reappearance. Today's selling fell in line with near term profit taking with volume down on recent buying.
Day 3 Of Gains
A third solid day of bullish action has built up the potential for market double bottoms. Selling from here will be treated as a pullback rather than a drop into the abyss.
Nasdaq Breadth Reaches 2011 Oversold Levels
Tech and Large Cap indices sit on the border between a bear market or a steep correction. While Small Caps have fallen into bear market territory, there is still a chance for other indices to come in from the precipice.
Further Losses But No Breakaway
The S&P tagged the January low, but it's hard to see it holding out if there's another challenge on 1,810.
Bears Win Day - Just...
There wasn't a whole lot of change by the close of business, but intraday strength was clawed back in worrisome fashion. The end result was to leave spike highs in markets.
