Weekly Market Commentary: Russell 2000 Support Test

Markets finished the week scrambling for a bottom; some are in better shape than others but it may take further weakness in market breadth before that point is reached. The Percentage of Nasdaq Stocks above the 50-day MA finished the week at 32% but it had dropped into single digits last summer so a repeat can't be excluded -  although most major swing lows occur between 15 and 30% (so the index is not far off a trading low) The Nasdaq Bullish Percents still have a way to go before they reach strong bottom territory.

Semiconductors and Russell 2000 are best placed for potential buyers. --- Follow Me on Twitter Dr. Declan Fallon is the Senior Market Technician and Community Director for Zignals.com .
