A mixed day for markets. The only winner was the Semiconductor Index as it gapped higher off yesterday's strong white candle. With other markets suffering losses the risk of a 'bearish shooting star' tomorrow is reasonably high.

Not much to say about today - good or bad. The Nasdaq finished with a small doji which is perhaps a little nod to bulls, but it would be a stretch to say today was a bullish day.

There wasn't a whole lot to Friday's action; Large Caps posted a small gap move break with Semiconductors managing a new all-time gap high. The gap in Semiconductors cleared the consolidation from earlier in the week. Technicals are in good shape with only a potential bearish divergence shaping up in the CCI, but other technicals remaining firm

Another day of low key gains with the Russell 2000 doing most of the leg work.  The Russell 2000 returned above its 200-day MA after rebounding off the moving average yesterday. The Russell 2000 is still underperforming against the Nasdaq, but it's working towards fresh leadership.
