The Nasdaq ran contrary to the Semiconductor Index as it finished on a small bearish engulfing pattern. I would have looked for the Semiconductor Index to feed into the Nasdaq but this hasn't happened; it's hard to see the Semiconductor Index maintaining this form.
The S&P had a similar day to the Nasdaq, finishing with a bearish engulfing pattern. As with the Nasdaq, volume rose in confirmed distribution. On the bright side, relative performance picked up against the Russell 2000; so whatever money is coming into the market will flow into Large Caps first.
The Russell 2000 experienced a near 1% loss on another bearish engulfing pattern. Tomorrow will see the first test of support of converged 20-day and 50-day MAs; I have marked this as a possible shorting opportunity with a bearish divergence in the MACD and a sharp drop in relative performance.
You've now read my opinion, next read Douglas' blog.
