Daily Market Commentary: Low Volume Gain
The S&P trades within last week's volatility so not enough to push it one way or the other. There was a 'buy' trigger in on-balance-volume. However, it will soon be influenced by a squeeze between 20-day and 200-day MA which will force bull/bear hands.
The Nasdaq is hanging on to 2,616 support but remains under its 200-day MA. Technicals are all bearish.
The Russell 2000 is building a swing trade at support. Prices are coiling into a pennant which typically breaks in the direction of the trend (which should be down). But support may be sufficient to see an upside break. The CCI has moved to a 'buy' trigger.
Finally, the semiconductor got a brief respite from the selling, but it was nothing more than a respite. Remains on course to test channel support.
Can support hold? Or will semiconductors continue to decline - bringing Tech, and likely remaining indices, with them.
