Stock Market Commentary: Decent Recovery

A number of positives has given bulls something to play with. For the Nasdaq, on-balance-volume and the +DX/-DI managed bullish crosses as the index regained the 20-day MA. Volume also climbed in line with accumulation.


The gains in the Dow were decent and were enough to push past the 50-day MA but not enough to break the 200-day MA.


The Russell 2000 had the benefit of a declining 200-day MA and a recently Golden Crossed 50-day MA to bounce off. There was even a bull cross in the CCI to give bulls an additional 'buy' signal.


The under pressure Semiconductor index also did enough to regain its 50-day MA with a CCI 'buy' signal of its own; better stuff from this key recovery sector.


Today marked a key play for bulls. With key moving averages regained it's now up to bulls to push their advantage. Shorts will wait for momentum to tire before getting aggressive again which is unlikely until June highs are approached.
