Stock Market Commentary: Breakdown
Yesterday was the warning, today was the confirmation. A string of support breaks have given bears the upper hand. The only indices to hold out were the Nasdaq and Nasdaq 100. The DOW and S&P each lost rising support dating back to March. Relative strength again shifted with another notch towards the bears with Tech leading Large Caps leading Small Caps.
The Semiconductor Index lost rising support of 270. Look for this weakness to take down the Nasdaq and Nasdaq 100.
The Russell 2000 finished somewhat in between; it held March-June support but cracked below its 20-day MA.
I suspect we are looking at a the early stages of a sideways range; a straight drop seems too expected although a test of lower Bollinger Bands would appear likely.
