Markets Build on Breakouts
Two days of gains have pushed markets beyond their breakout levels and new closing highs. Volume has not been spectacular, but shareholders will not be complaining. Shorts will be out or left holding big losses. The Russell 2000 had the best of the action as it negated the 'bear flag' in a move which now looks destined to challenge of 1,425. The MACD is building on its 'buy' trigger but relative performance against the Nasdaq could do with a kicker to mark the return of Small Cap leadership.
