Markets were basically calm and flat today with the exception of the Nazz which outperformed and was up .7%. And Nazz volume was up from yesterdays levels, but still below normal. The simple fact that both the Nazz and the S&P 500 held there huge gains from yesterday, and in the case of the Nazz gained further, was impressive. The Nazz is approaching the 2600 level which has proved troublesome in the past. The S&P 500 is nearing its own big round number of 1200. The SDS is approaching its 200 day MA at 22, which has proved as strong support recently. Leading stocks were as bifurcated as they Nazz and the Dow, with AAPL up 3% (clearing 400), and ATHN UP 4%. However BIDU met 200 day resistance, and WYNN 50 day resistance. More stocks are sporting potential double bottom bases which should be included on your watch list. We mentioned a few yesterday (CVX EP KLAC), today a few more are in the process. WFC 29.73 (yes a bank stock!!), CNI 75.02, SWI 25.72 all double bottom buy points. The retail ETF XRT reclaimed its 200 day MA today as some stocks in that group are building the right side of their potential bases. M TGT come to mind. TWC also is building its right side. The energy ETF XLE is nearing its 50 day MA. Will be interesting to see how that transpires. It will be affected certainly by the moves in the US Dollar ETF UUP. Stocks that hit all time highs today were ALXN DLTR ROST. AA disappointed after the close. May be a buying opportunity for some other commodity stocks if they sell off since aluminum has been a serious underperformer as of late. PEP reports before the open tomorrow. GOOG JPM report Thursday.
