Daily Market Commentary: Mixed Bag

It was a day of contrasts. Large Cap indices got the best of the action, closing up (slightly) on higher volume accumulation.  Tech Averages did not fare so well, the Nasdaq 100 suffering worst on the day.

The S&P experienced a wide range day, stopping at its 50-day MA. Technicals clung to its bullish particulars.


But the Nasdaq was rebuffed by its 200-day MA. with the 50-day MA overhead as resistance.


The Nasdaq 100 was particularly hard hit, leaving behind a bull trap.


While the Russell 2000 escaped relative unscathed.


Bulls should still look to the Russell 2000, which continues to exhibit good bullish form, despite today's losses. Technology had a bad day, which threw a spanner in the works for those looking for support at 200-day MA. The 20-day MA is next.
