Daily Market Commentary: Opportunities at 50-day MAs for Small Caps and Dow
The Dow has perhaps the clearest opportunity given it opened at the 50-day MA and pushed on a little. Technicals dropped a little further, but potential buyers might look to take advantage on the premise of a challenge on 12,400 resistance; stops on a loss of the 50-day MA.

The Russell 2000 suffers a little more with indecision. Today's spinning top candlestick reflecting the doubt. However, it hasn't yet violated the 50-day MA in four days of trading and a stop on a loss of 816 might appeal, as might a thrust lower which was to recover as quickly as it went down (i.e. a push which knocked out the likely set of existing stops below 816).

Look to these two indices tomorrow to offer some trading opportunities. If the market was to open weak, then the semiconductor index is the one likely to suffer most.
