Stock Market Commentary: Close above 20-day MAs
There was a respectable follow-on to Wednesday's gains. The Nasdaq was able to make it above 20-day MA.

The Nasdaq 100 did likewise but the Semiconductor index was unable to break above its 20-day MA after its third day of gains. However, there was a CCI 'buy' signal, backed by weak bullish crossover in trend strength (+DI > -DI) for the latter index:

The Dow is showing some interest as it approaches rising channel resistance; an upside break would mark another, sharper, trend shift.

So is it going to take a fall H1N1 outbreak to knock the market out of its stride? Bears are again feeling the squeeze.
