Daily Market Commentary: Low Volume Losses for S&P

Monday was a low key affair. Minor losses and low volume in the S&P offered little to either side. The Nasdaq added a few points, but not enough to change the larger picture. It still trades inside the rising channel, but there wasn't enough from bulls to challenge channel resistance.

Should buyers continue their accumulation after today's defense of channel support then there is a good chance of a continuation of the rally in the Nasdaq and Nasdaq 100.

Otherwise, there was little to add on today's action.
