Stock Market Commentary: Tech Ticks Higher on Respectable Volume

The semiconductors were the days winner as the early June bull trap converted into a new consolidation handle; all part of the March-June rally. Also adding to the bulls cause was a break of the bearish divergence in the MACD, a negated 'sell' trigger from the CCI and a switch in relative strength back in favour of semiconductors over the Nasdaq 100.


The net effect of this was to reduce the risk of a downward break in both the Nasdaq and Nasdaq 100 as was initially feared when the bull trap emerged in the semiconductors. Both aforementioned indices were able to make modest gains on higher volume.


As I had commented in my Zignals blog post yesterday it is looking more probable we won't be seeing a significant downleg emerge - or at least a downleg which undercuts the May lows to any significant degree.

Onwards and upwards?
