Decision time for bulls

Small Caps have reaches a support level which will determine how things will go for the rest of the year. In the case of the Russell 2000 ($IWM) we have to consider what will happen around $209 as sellers confirm distribution; a loss of this level will end the trading range and project a measured move down and through the 200-day MA. 


The Nasdaq gapped down to breakout support which is also a Fibonacci level on the daily time frame. Unlike the Russell 2000, the support level is not one at the bottom of its range - so a loss would open up for a test of the 200-day MA and a mean reversion move. 


The S&P has also tested breakout support, but has also tested its 50-day MA.  If this support level gives way then there is a big gap down to its 200-day MA, which will cause a whole lot of pain should it occur. 


All three lead indices have reached key support and with the week still young we could find ourselves in a very different situation by the time the week is out. 

You've now read my opinion, next read Douglas' blog.

S&P "Bull Trap"?

Image
I thought there was sufficient evidence to argue against a "bull trap" in the S&P, but it would appear the market wasn't interested in such thoughts and sellers were quick to reverse the initial push above 4,200.  Adding to the pain were new 'sell' triggers in MACD and On-Balance-Volume, although the former occurred above the 'bullish' zero line, making it a weak signal. Selling volume ranked as distribution as selling momentum picked up speed.  The index is also underperforming relative to the Russell 2000.

"Black Candlesticks" are a concern for the S&P and Nasdaq

Image
A bright start for bulls on the back of positive $NVDA earnings wasn't enough to generate a day of meaningful gains.  However, it did help stall the losses of the last couple of days. The Nasdaq was the biggest beneficiary of today's action, but not enough to see an end-of-day finish that cleared last week's swing high, nor delivery of a large white candlestick, despite the morning breakout gap.  Technicals are net bullish and relative performance against the S&P has become consistently stronger since the start of May.  While today's candlestick I would view as typically 'bearish', today's volume ranked as confirmed accumulation (bullish). Overall, I would be looking for higher prices from here.

Round 2 for the bearish "black" candlestick in S&P and Nasdaq

Image
The Nasdaq started brightly but ended up closing below its open price, but above yesterday's close. The S&P did something similar, although the intraday range is narrower. These two setups are somewhat complicated by the new 'buy' triggers in On-Balance-Volume for both the Nasdaq and S&P. And the new MACD trigger 'buy' for the S&P. Price action is key, so I would expect the candlestick to trump the technical picture; watch for lower prices tomorrow.
