Tuesday Recap

Markets displayed classic bearish behavior opening at their highs and closing hard upon their lows. A benign call on commodities before the bell by Goldman gave the market an early bump, but that faded as the day went along. Volume was up on the Nasdaq and lower on the S&P. The indexes have made a series of higher lows, but living below their 50 day MAs. They need to take those trendlines out soon. Was the recent 50 day violation a product of stops being blown out, and now the rally can resume its uptrend. Im skeptical, but as always the market action, not my opinions are what is most important. Transports and semis were weak today. Even healthcare, a recent leading group and defensive, was soft. A sign of risk on being put back into place with the rise in energy today? Again I doubt it with many energy stocks closing upon their lows of the day, but let see how the markets behave. Tomorrow we get reports on durable goods and earnings before the bell from COST HRL RL and after the close from NTAP SMTC.
