Daily Market Commentary: False Dawn

A fake-out by bulls? A big gain for the Russell 2000 suggested there was real buying at work in the market.

Technically, the Russell 2000 remains weak with the bounce off the 20-day MA the only source for optimism. The downside break of the rising channel remains.
