Markets rallied for the 3rd consecutive Thursday, but a drop in volume dampened the spirit. The past three days saw the indexes have softer volume than the previous day. Not exactly bullish. Some positives are developing with the fact that markets are rallying strongly into the close. Three days in a row now. The Nazz and the S&P 500 both rallied 1.8% today. The Nazz is less than 1% from its 50 day MA, (2520) where resistance has proved formidable. The S&P 500 is closing in on its 50 day MA (1180) as well. The ETF SDS lost its 50 day MA today and is approaching its 200 day MA near 22, where support has proven firm. That could all change with the jobs report tomorrow morning before the bell. Banks were up again smartly today with JPM MS both up 5% and GS 4%. The bank ETF XLF is also approaching its 50 day MA about 50 cents away. The retail ETF XRT reclaimed its 50 day MA with the help of TGT strong same store sales report. Many in that group have rallied strongly off 200 day support for three days now and include BBBY JWN CROX DECK.
