Markets made it a trifecta Wednesday, gaining for the third consecutive day. Today volume kicked in for the first time however. The S&P 500 with its large energy exposure outperformed the Nasdaq, due to chip softness. Both indexes which had successful tests off their 200 day MAs, now are about to challenge their 50 day MAs. More and more leaders are shaping proper buy points (discussed in next paragraph), and more broke out today as well. A very bullish picture when leaders break out and outperform their peers. Today FMC broke out from a 84.92 double bottom. PX broke out from a 106.33 double bottom. CRZO broke out of a 40.97 cup base. Rails were strong today, possibly hinting at a stronger economy a few months out. The recent missing picture has been the absence of financial leadership. Today they joined the broad rally. Ags were strong with MOS MON (MON earnings today) rallying 5% each. Thursday brings jobless claims amd Chicago PMI.
