The biggest gain on Friday was from the Dow Industrials. While the gain was nothing to write home about it was the only index to register a gain. Volume was lighter but technicals are net bullish. If there was a downside, it's that relative performance needs a pick-up to run alongside index gains. The S&P didn't change a whole lot so haven't feature it.

INDU Daily

Small Caps tagged converged 20-day and 50-day MA in a small loss. This has set itself out as a successful support test, but no further losses can be taken for this to remain a successful support test.

RUT Daily


The NASDAQ barely acknowledged a gain (or a loss) and technicals didn't change a whole. There was a MACD trigger for a 'sell', but it has effectively flat-lined before this, so one cannot read a whole lot into it.

COMPQ Daily


Semiconductors didn't flash a bearish evening shooting star, so the gap higher has a greater chance of sticking (bullish).

SOX Daily


So, for today, we will want markets to hold what support they have, but ideally bulls will want a 1% gain to push markets beyond the minor gains registered on Friday.
