Daily Market Commentary: Heavy Volume Gains
The perfect follow through to Tuesday's buying (and yesterday's tight trading). Trading volume was comparable to that of the June bottom. Friday will look for another consolidation now resistance is more of a factor (for certain indices).
The S&P finished on 1,343 resistance which marked the line in the sand for the May and July bull traps. Technicals remain net bullish. The recent 'Golden Cross' lends support for a continuation of the intermediate term rally.

The Nasdaq did not enjoy as strong buying Thursday, although it had already reached bull trap resistance on Tuesday's trading. Like the S&P, technicals are net bullish and a 'Golden Cross' is in play.

The index to watch is the Nasdaq 100. It has no 'bull trap' to negate, just old fashioned resistance. A break here will help other indices do likewise - the Nasdaq in particular.

The other index which will benefit from Nasdaq 100 strength is the semiconductor index. The Philadelphia semiconductor index successfully back tested its bear trap and is well positioned to challenge its first level of resistance at its 20-day MA.

For tomorrow it may be best to watch the Nasdaq 100 for leads, but actually trade the semiconductor index (SMH).
