There wasn't much to today's action but for what there was, it was positive - better again in the face of Google's disappointing earnings (revenue miss). The S&P barely registered a gain but with the index a couple of points shy of all-time highs it can be forgiven. Volume was sufficient to register as accumulation.

The S&P maintained bullish pressure with a small gain, a gain sufficient to mark a new closing high.  Technicals are generally bullish, although the MACD has flat-lined.

There wasn't a whole lot to today's action despite the damage done to my monitored Shutterstock ($SSTK) following disappointed earnings. The Small Caps index fell back into converged 20-day, 50-day and 200-day MA.

Nothing spectacular but after day's of tight intraday action, today's action belonged firmly in the bull column. In percentage terms there wasn't a whole lot to today's gain but relatively, the gain was key. For the S&P we now have a new closing high on slightly higher volume accumulation. While the MACD has flatlined there is still bullish accumulation trends in On-Balance-Volume and relative performance, alongside strongly overbought stochastics; what is bullish stays bullish until proven otherwise.

My individual picks on invest4success  are showing a greater level of weakness than the indices. This may reflect bad stock picking on my part, or could represent a hidden undercurrent of weakness which hasn't represented itself in the broader market. Time will tell which side is true. Leading on from this, I would like the Russell 2000 to regain its leadership which it lost in March. The February high rebuttal off the 200-day MA remains the high for the index in 2019, but something more is required to see a reversal in the relative performance loss.

While my invest4success picks saw some changes, the larger picture didn't change a whole lot. The biggest gain was from the Dow Industrials. While the gain was nothing to write home about it was the only index to register a gain.  Volume was lighter but technicals are net bullish. If there was a downside, it's that relative performance needs a pick up to run alongside index gains. The S&P didn't change a whole lot so haven't feature it.

A mixed day for markets. The only winner was the Semiconductor Index as it gapped higher off yesterday's strong white candle. With other markets suffering losses the risk of a 'bearish shooting star' tomorrow is reasonably high.

Not much to say about today - good or bad. The Nasdaq finished with a small doji which is perhaps a little nod to bulls, but it would be a stretch to say today was a bullish day.

There wasn't a whole lot to Friday's action; Large Caps posted a small gap move break with Semiconductors managing a new all-time gap high. The gap in Semiconductors cleared the consolidation from earlier in the week. Technicals are in good shape with only a potential bearish divergence shaping up in the CCI, but other technicals remaining firm

Another day of low key gains with the Russell 2000 doing most of the leg work.  The Russell 2000 returned above its 200-day MA after rebounding off the moving average yesterday. The Russell 2000 is still underperforming against the Nasdaq, but it's working towards fresh leadership.

There wasn't a whole lot to today's action other than maintaining the run of gains.  Semiconductors were again the leader of markets, which helped the Nasdaq and Nasdaq 100.

There wasn't a whole lot to Friday's action, but best of it was given over to the Russell 2000. The Russell 2000 cleared its 200-day MA in a near 1% gain. Technicals are net bullish and any short positions will have been cleaned out by the close above the 200-day MA. The question now is whether the rally off March's low can build a rally continuance, but the initial signs are good.

Aside from Semiconductors there wasn't a whole lot going on today. However, Semiconductors did have a very strong day with the negation of the two-bar reversal. The gains returned a new high in relative performance to the Nasdaq 100 with a return of the MACD trigger 'buy'. Following earlier action this week it's a big change on the declines of last week.

The S&P rally from December lows had consolidated through February but today's gain put an end to that consolidation. The breakout came with a 'buy' trigger in On-Balance-Volume. Relative performance against Small Caps took a tick higher; a mixed signal, rally is defensive until proven otherwise.
