Daily Market Commentary: Stays Near Tuesday's Highs
Bulls can be reasonably satisfied with Wednesday's action. Sellers made a not unexpected appearance, but were unable to push markets lower or scare buyers out of their positions. Selling volume was below Tuesday's buying.
The Nasdaq and Nasdaq 100 finished the day slightly worse off, only because gap open (triggered by Apple's incredible earnings) had sold off by the end of day.
The S&P held Tuesday's highs with tight trading. A break of high/lows will offer a swing trade opportunity (stop on flip side) with the likelihood of an upside break perhaps preferred.
The Russell 2000 traded a little wider on the intraday range, but still did enough to suggest bulls hold the edge.
My sector breadth study has the S&P at a reading of 48% bullishness which is as close to neutral as possible. Whatever direction the S&P goes tomorrow will likely dictate the trend for the next 5-10 days.
